Detailed Description

The project aims to document, classify, and experiment with information visualisation of cultural events in India. In this project, I focus on how the Warli community of Palghar district celebrates their traditional festivals by depicting traditional Warli paintings on their house walls. I started by revisiting and analysing our old project. With the project aim/motivation in mind, I collected more information about their culture through secondary research and organised the data according to the decided relevant factors for the visualisation, then explored some ideas. The final output communicates the ways these festivals are celebrated in Warli culture by depicting the traditional Warli paintings on the walls of their houses, with people and decorations in the background, mimicking their household during that occasion. It serves as a way of exploring their culture for newbies to lightly get introduced to their culture.
