Tisser had a great successful exhibition at Dadar Vanita samaj sabhagruha on the 25th 26th and 27th of February. We had kept a stall and had a wide range of Warli and pottery products.
Also, we took 3 days of Warli Painting Canvas workshop and had a wonderful experience with those kids. Around 20 to 25 kids were there each day for the workshop and painted Warli art on canvas with a smile on their faces. The kids really enjoyed it and were excited enough to learn something new.
At Dadar Shivaji Park, our women artisans had done wall painting of Warli art in front of the ground. The whole area is covered with Warli wall paintings. Our women artisans really had a great experience.
During the exhibition, we kept a stand of Plastic Oath where we asked people to write something on a piece of colored paper and tie it to that. As plastic oath really needs to be normalized in today’s culture. We explained to people why to dump plastic and take an oath for that. We had a great response as you can see in the pictures, a lot of people supported us and tied the paper and took an oath. Our women artisans also participated in Exhibition and decided to be a part of it as they never got an opportunity. This was a great chance for them to learn and experience something in the exhibition.

This was an initiative where the public walls were painted by around 30 of our women artisans. These being public spaces, the paintings are being appreciated by one and all. This proved to be a great initiative by Tisser since many more people are trying to rope in these women artisans for painting, on a public level as well as on a personal level.
The outer walls of a Minister’s bungalow were painted. She felicitated these artisans, which was an encouragement to the women. This has also proved to be an inspiration to other women artisans. The walls of Shivaji Park, Dadar, and Mumbai have also been painted by women artisans. The walls have a huge expanse, but the women artisans took it upon themselves to complete it. The women were guided by our Designer and Artist. This was also broadcast by Marathi News Channel.
Conducted a Warli Painting Workshop at Shivaji Park Exhibition.
Number of Attendees – 25
All stationery was provided by Tisser. All participants were quite enthusiastic about the workshop since it was one of a kind. Never has a workshop been conducted in any exhibition.
A brief history of the Tribal Warli Art was explained. Warli is an entirely different way of depicting objects, plants, humans, animals, etc around us. This increased the interest of the participants to learn more about this art.
There were queries about how this art can be incorporated into contemporary art style. The young participants also wanted to know whether this art can be made by doodling. It was a fun-filled activity with some learning of this art which is on the verge of extinction.
The participants were ready to absorb most of it, so as to take it forward, amongst their friends and schools. All participants wanted this workshop to be conducted in their housing societies or schools.

The Idobro works mainly on market linkage. This is the main objective to create future opportunities for our women artisans. We have participated in this two day summit. The customers were really encouraging to the various products. The women get different exposure through this Summit as the structure of Summit and Art Festival is completely different. In this Summit women developed their communication skills and get valuable complements and suggestions for their products. Here as the crowd was already aware about the handicraft value felt supportive to women.
