“কাঁথার ঘর - Kanthar Ghar” is a project initiated by GABAA in collaboration with the women kantha makers of Birbhum. Through this project GABAA intends to initiate the making of a pedagogical site through connecting the learnings from history and local narrations. The layers of making Kantha portray the layered processes of making a house into a home by homemakers. And domestic learning as the first institution, where humans themselves can be identified as books, the gestures of kantha making transforms into a site for active conversations. Kanthar Ghar will be a construction of a third layer portraying the Autobiographies of the homemakers on the kanthas made by themselves, where GABAA poses the criticalities and understandings of community based practices in present times.
