A Kashmir papier mâché artisan's dream project

The art of papier-mâché has been passed on orally from one generation to the next. Today, one can still find papier-mâché artisans in the narrow bylanes of Srinagar’s Zadibal-Alamgari Bazaar.
One such award-winning 'paper mache' artist, Maqbool Jan is known for his innovative patterns.
Maqbool Jan's latest project is to make a map of Srinagar city on cloth by using papier-mâché techniques.
He wants to see this masterpiece, which he has been working on for over a year, displayed in the Indian Parliament.

There needs to be protection of such precious arts as heritage. These skills can be forwarded to interested generations through different skilling platforms too to spread it.
