A unique 10 day journey down the Hooghly from Murshidabad to Kolkata. Led by Kinetika, UK and Think Arts, India we were accompanied by a group of contemporary artists, historians, writers and musicians from UK and India. We interacted with local communities who had been working on this project for over a year to devise a bespoke tour of each area. Visitors: Participated in an international artistic exchange Visited artisan workshops, historic palaces and estates Attended cultural programmes and talks by historians and travel writers Paraded with us carrying the Silk River scrolls The Silk River project explored the unique relationship between London and Kolkata through artistic exchange between communities along the Thames Estuary and India’s Hooghly River. Each community created a 6 metre hand-painted silk scroll that is a visual narrative of their walk. Every day, a core group welcomed two new scrolls carried by participants, building up to a grand finale as we walked back into central Kolkata with all twenty of the spectacular Silk River scrolls.
