ase vanota portugal

“ase vanota portugal” mean’s we are going to portugal

A year ago Maria João Arnaud a graphic designer from Portugal was seeking to learn Indian textile’s & she stumbled upon matsya. We dialogued, shared some common view’s & quickly matsya designed a craft tour keeping in mind maria’s interest.

matsya introduced her to various craft’s, artisan’s, ngo’s who are engaged not only in block printing & tye dye, but a varied of craft’s, culture & tradition’s of India. We had a extensive tour from Bhuj to Ahmedabad,Gujarat, India.

She learn’t, explored, experimented, had lot’s of fun,made new friend’s & decided to take back the rich Indian textile’s of Kutch back to the museum in Portugal. Further she proposed the museum to conduct & organize workshop’s for people in Portugal which would enable the people an unique experience of Indian craft’s

Maria’s passion, dream turned to be a reality & when the museum invited the Aurangzeb Khatri from Dhamdka, & Jabbar Bhai Khatri from bhuj, craft’s men from Kutch, Gujarat, India to portugal to demonstrate the fine process & also demonstrate through work shop’s.

we are very happy for this lovely collaboration of art’s & crafts between India & Portugal & look forward for more in the near future….

write to us & who know’s what’s restored for you with matsya
