Nina Sabnani's storytelling house is an
unusual stand-up
book
which unfolds visual narratives like multiple windows on a computer
screen! She brilliantly adapts a traditional storytelling from India
and creates an interactive
book with a contemporary look and feel. |
The Kaavad is a portable wooden shrine used by
traditional storytellers in Rajasthan, India.
Its many-hinged panels display
vibrantly painted scenes from local myths and folktales.
The Kaavadiya Bhat
narrates the stories, opening up each painted
panel as he goes along,
pointing each figure with a peacock
feather. Through the stories he
reinforces inter-connections
within his community and establishes his own
space in it.
