City
and
Identities
-Shruthadev B Semester 5
I stumbled upon a place lying between the city of the past and the future city. There, I came across beings unknown, faces without ident ities, crafting beings of color in this lifeless city. Though lifeless, these beings have more character than their creators, these faces I watched in pity. These toys have identities, unseen and unspoken, by the humans, slaves in this city.

The sounds of the machines, the dust flying , the pale yellow colour of the wood pieces, everything comes to mind when the mind revisits Channapatna. Channapatna, the city of toys , a city reminding of its cultural richness and grandeur. The toy making, according to me, is an art of storytelling. While looking at these colourful toys, you get a glimpse of the past. This story, sadly though, has never been continued. It ’s true that it is a part of history and culture, but art should not only be contextually relatable, but also chronologically be relatable. I believe the causes of this, is a lack of references . When the art of toy making was introduced in Channapatna by the Persians, the craftsmen who learnt the craft didn’t know what to craft. So, they started with the references that they can relate to . The toys are the symbols of our culture and tradition. But the character and personality of the person is lost during this work. Craftsmen of various abilities and skills are stuck repeating the process over and over again. More to that, the competitors of the toys are slowly pushing the craftsmen to the brink of unemployment. Some developers have managed to introduce technology into this toy making in the hope of preserving, but many still use the more ‘traditional’ methods of toy making, working in the comforts of their homes in a village peaceful and untouched by the metropolis. The common man hopes and desires to sustain the family. The town is on a quest to make this art recognised and appreciated by all before it ’s too late. As time moves, the craft should also move along with it, but also preserving its knowledge and experience and references of its past.

Channapatna, known as the toy city, has been crafting toys for over two centuries. This act of making toys is not just a mean of earning, it is much more than that. It is a medium for telling stories, visualising ideas. Man, from the beginning of time, has been telling stories through cave paintings. What can one tell a story about? The act of conveying the story to the reader happens when the reader relates to it or refers to it in the least. Channapatna, known as the toy city, has been

The main principle behind the design is rendering a master craft more relatable to the younger generation and creating a viable career option out of it. I believe the concept of an experiential library to collect unbiased data from variety of sources. And since Channapatna is a tourist location, knowledge is available in plenty. Ullekhana also shows possibilities of unconventional education.
