Arts & Crafts - Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, India
When you think of Rajasthan, you see desert, beautiful havelis, women wearing colorful dresses and of course camels, But now, there is something else to add to your list. A place called Mandawa Art Village, a place which is also considered to be the world's largest open modern art gallery.Situated 4 km from Mandawa, one of the main touristic cities in Rajasthan, well known for her magnificent painted havelis, Mandawa art village is a perfect example of what creative economy can bring to rural villages. Most of the time, people who live in rural villages have to live a poor life in half empty villages or leave to try to be integrated in big towns, in search of an hypothetic better life .Our idea is to offer an alternative choice to people who live in the village, through creative economy, , explain Amita D'Alessandro, french co-founder of Mandawa art village, together with Virendra Singh Shekhawat, director and founder of DPC, the most famous photography club in Delhi. Through art, art workshops, art experience, creation of open air gallery, we develop a new form of artistic tourism which generates jobs in the village, offering a better life to villagers.One of the major attraction of Mandawa art village are the walls, painted by international street artists, a real art form which arrives immediately to the heart of the tourists and of the people living in the village. New street art in Mandawa Art village and heritage frescos of Mandawa are a perfect combination for Indian and foreigner tourists.
