Connecting with Parichamuttu artist and teacher Sabu Ashan
Today, we met Sabu Ashan in the Fort Kochi and Mattancherry area. He is a Parichamuttu artist and teacher. He is also a practitioner. He told us about his work with children. He introduces younger generations to this traditional art form. We want to connect with local artists and learn about the cultural practices of the area. We spoke about his work and why it matters to keep traditional art forms alive. We also discussed possibilities for conducting workshops. We talked about ways to make Parichamuttu more accessible and engaging for young people. Sabu Ashan conducts classes in Nazareth, Jubilee Nagar and Veli in Kochi. The meeting offered an opportunity to learn from his experience. It also gave us a chance to explore how we can share this rich art form with future generations.
