Bamboo Boatworks: Crafting Community Connections

Embracing the spirit of resilience, a community of boat makers, originally hailing from the coastal regions of Western India, now thrives in the heart of Jaipur amidst challenging flood conditions. Nestled gracefully amid the architectural splendour of Hawa Mahal, their workshop takes shape in the form of a two-mouthed funnel, symbolizing adaptation and innovation. Here, amidst the ebb and flow of water, skilled artisans craft traditional boats using sustainable bamboo materials. As the city transforms under the influence of flooding, this workshop becomes not just a space for craftsmanship, but a beacon of connectivity, facilitating new modes of transportation and fostering unity across disparate parts of the inundated cityscape
