2009 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Madhusmita will champion a conservation effort for the art form that is the sattriya dance. Creating a bridge for exchanging ideas related preservation issues in Philadelphia and Majuli Island.  Sattriya dance was introduced over six hundred years ago by Sankardev, an Indian reformer, and has since evolved and flourished mostly in monasteries along the island. Now, this rich cultural tradition, barely visible in the West, is under attack from geographical, social, and political changes. Through her dance and interactive performances Madhusmita will help to keep this culturally rich and empowering tradition alive.
