Katha Yatra II: Artistic Residency

(May-June 2014) In the first artistic residency of BCF, two cultural bodies from India and France crafted a 2-riders bicycle, which was dressed as a boat made of bamboo. It made a journey along the Majuli island for over 10-days. The resident artists were Tina Hollard and Hafid Chouaf from France and Kamala Kanta Koman from Majuli, India. “Katha Yatra II” was an attempt to sensitize local communities and the islanders about the harmful effects of widespread plastic usage, and helping them learn about plastic-disposal and recycling.

This journey was to help bring an awareness on environmental issues to the people of Majuli. Through discussions and presentations and peppering it with cultural elements such as a Street Play and a Painting Competition it reflected on traditional and greener ways of living and highlighted the issue of mounting plastic usage in Majuli. “Katha Yatra II” was supported by the Mising Autonomous Councils
