2012 Art and Change Grant – $2,500
- Neighborhood: Germantown
- Change Partner: Govinda Kalita
- Discipline: Performance
- Social Change / Intent: Cultural Preservation
Madhusmita will write and publish a book on sattriya, a 600-year-old dance from the monasteries of the Indian state of Assam. Sattriya was created as an agent of social change promoting the values of an equal society. The book will serve as a bridge between two seemingly opposite worlds, the cosmopolitan city of Philadelphia and the rural island of Majuli, sparking dialogue about the common values of peace and universalism while also making the Philadelphia community aware about this rare dance form.
