Turmeric-dyed Shawls
Planting Fruit Trees
Mulabari women make beautiful shawls with elaborate fringes from the local turmeric-dyed cotton. Their products were recently exhibited in Japan and received high praise.
A German artist, Joseph Bueys planted oak trees at the exhibition in Kassel in 1892. He thought tree planting as an art for environmental change as a social sculpture. After 40 years, these oaks are taller and greener. His idea inspired the Mulabari Art Village. Fruit tree planting started as part of art projects in this village.
