Art under
Lockdown
Online Workshops with Limited Resources
"Initially it was challenging to build the virtual space with the same level of involvement and engagement as a regular workshop. But soon, it was overtaken with sharing of stories and experiences of lockdown from both sides. I made tutorial videos for our online sessions which helped in visually translating my ideas to the participants more practically and clearly. The participants channeled their energy and made some beautiful artworks in the process."
