Nurturing Walls is an October 2008 release by Tara Books. Screen-printed on brown kraft paper, the art from the walls of Meena tribal homes in Rajasthan is seen for the first time outside of their villages. The women of the Meena tribe practice this art form, known as Mandana, painting the muds walls and floors of their homes to mark festivals and changing seasons. Mothers teach their daughters, passing on their skills and keeping the art tradition alive.

Launched at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery in London in October 2008 with an exhibition of art prints from the book, renowned art critic, John Berger, opened the show with warm words.

  • Great introduction by Berger. Only wish I could have been there. Are they any talks/discussions by Berger planned for this year (2009)?
