Kankhowa's day,
Today was a session on the inter-relationship of the Visual arts and the Performance arts at Guwahati Artists Guild. Tomorrow (12 Feb. 2012) there is an installation "Red Chilies: Oinitom" at the newly opening restaurant "Majulir Esanj", besides the Zoo. Opening ceremony and performance at 8:00 PM. [In Assam people put a red chili on a stick (pulled out from a broom stick) and place it vertically on the courtyard on the hope of preventing the dark cloud. It is common folk practice in the rain prone zone of eastern India. And Maajuli, the greatest river Island on earth has an inevitable relation with water, river, rain and yes, oinitom, the highly melodious folklore of the Mishing community. Majuli is highly effected by regular flood, the dangerous erosions and recently by the fear from the BIG BIG DAM ISSUES. “Red Chilies: Oinitom” is a take on Majuli, boats, clouds, fears, hopes, floods, rituals and the oinitom.]
and then BlackRice
