Rucha Kulkarni (Amsterdam, NL and Pune, IN) is an artist whose works consider a public sphere as space for participation, inspiration, and self-retrospection. Of her recent and significant projects, Quilt Culture, was a major microfinancing project in which the artist worked with godhadi craftsmen (quilters) from Maharashtra. Simultaneously, forming grounds for intervening notions of traditions, female skill, labour, and rights, tokenism with respect to the same. And analysing the larger picture of survival in an overpowering consumerist society.
