Bakarwals are a nomadic tribe based in the Himalayan regions of India and Pakistan and are Shepards. They move uphill to Kashmir during summers in search of pastures for their animals. They move to Jammu during winters because of the harsh weather and build temporary houses in the valleys during those months. Their homes and lifestyle respond to the climate, context and materials. It was interesting to me how their idea of ‘home’ and ‘space’ was always changing and that is where my research began. The Craft Collective aims at acknowledging these tribes that pass through Srinagar every six months. Situated in the middle of Dal Lake, it is an adaptive reuse of the existing tri-monthly functioning Shikara (boat) workshops. The boat workshops are in use from October to February, leaving them empty and out of use around March to May – which is when the Bakarwals pass through the city. The intervention consists of a ticketed Shikara ride through 3 of these locations – A Live Museum, an Exhibition and a Shop and Café – allowing tourists to view, interact with and buy the handloom heritage of the Bakarwal Tribe. It will provide the youth of the tribe with job opportunities and income as well as recognition in society.

The Handicraft workshop gets transformed into a Boat workshop in the winter months. Planks of wood come onto the canal, leaving space for the construction of the shikaras.

Handicraft Workshop View
The Handicraft workshop is the first space of this ticketed Shikara ride along Dal Lake. A canal runs through the island cutting the space into two halves while the entire structure sits on top of the canal. A tourist passing through this can will witness a live exhibition of how the handicrafts and handlooms are made. Hidden in the designed alcoves and niches, behind translucent curtains - where one can only see their hands working - sit the men and women of the tribe, working endlessly. The transparent walls that surround the niches, fill the workspace with light.

The Exhibition gets transformed into a Boat workshop in the winter months. The wooden roof gets pushed towards one wall, removing the panel and leaving space for the construction of the shikaras.

03. The Shop & Cafe
Transformation from Winter to Summer months.
The Shop is part of the last leg of the journey. After having seen how the handicrafts are made and what the history behind them is, the tourists can now visit the shop and see their creations come to life. Right from picking the souvenir, deciding it’s colours and weave, the tourists can collect their gifts from the shop as well as buy new items on display. The space is designed keeping in mind the duel functions over the year. The rotating panels that hold all the items can be pushed back to restore the space for the construction of the shikaras. The Kahwa kiosk outside also acts as a viewing deck where tourists can take their kahwas and baked bread to the serenity of dal lake. 16

The Fold-All is a moving shelter designed for the Bakarwal community for their journey from Jammu to Kashmir and back. It is designed keeping in mind the weight a tribe horse can carry, the fact that it has to be quickly constructed and small in size. Through an easy to understand manual, the shelter can be set up anywhere and is suitable for the rugged terrain. It is made out of lightweight hollow aluminium tubes and a thin canvas fabric. Parts of the shelter can be put up in towns while the travel, to sell traditional Bakarwal handlooms. 24
Single units of the shelter can be propped up to act as exhibition and selling spaces while on the move. They could also be used as school shelters for the children of the community.
