Series Ethnographic video online, volume 2 Summary Tanko Bole Chhe (The Stitches Speak) is an animated documentary which celebrates the art and passion of the Kutch artisans associated with Kala Raksha. The film traces multiple journeys made by the participants towards defining their identities and towards forming the Kala Raksha Trust and the School for Design. The film uses their narrative art of appliqué and embroideries through which they articulate their responses to life, and events as traumatic as the earthquake and as joyful as flying a kite. Through conversations and memories, four voices share their involvement in the evolution of a craft tradition Notes Title from resource description page (viewed Feb. 6, 2014) Event Recorded in 2009 in Kutch, India Notes Previously released as DVD This edition in Kutchi with English subtitles Subject Decorative arts -- India -- Kachchh.
