Puppetry : The Ancient Art of Storytelling

Puppetry in India
Interactive media & documentary project
This project gave an opportunity to study the traditional form of puppetry through ethnographic study. For the study we visited puppeteer Ms. Anupama Hoskere(Founder, Dhaatu), Folklore Museum(Mysore), and puppet shows. The findings were presented in the form of a digital application, showing the history, types, making and distribution of puppets in India. Also, a short documentary was compiled to present the story of puppets in a linear fashion.
This is a snapshot of interactive map which I created to show the distribution of different types of puppets in India. This was created in flash with AS2. Check out the working map here.
