Drums, dreams and drawings

Editor's note

Middle and high school students in Danagadi block of Odisha’s Jajapur district were inspired to create this artwork based on Drums and dreams beyond pickle and papad, a story by Puja Awasthi, which was published in August 2017 on the PARI website. Using colour pencils, sketch pens and chart paper, they made posters with drawings and a short summary of the story. 

This was part of a month-long initiative to learn about women. Students featured here are: Ananya Khatua, Sipa Khatua, Puja Behera, Gayatri Mallick, Guddi Sahoo, Akash Mohanta, Sunia Munda, Dasama Sirka, Chittaranjan Mohanta, Sonal Nayak, Aishwarya Swain, Jina Sethy and Saraswati Munda.
