Sadika has over the past two decades single-handedly revived the ancient art of glassblowing in her country.
 
Today she lives in Tunis, close to the ruins of the ancient city, Carthage. 

The Tunisian capital is well-known for its artistic heritage. But while arts and crafts flourish in its rich souks, glassblowing had become a lost art.

Artsworld went to meet Sadika.

Dance to heal

The dance organisation Kolkata Sanved is unique in India in the way it uses Dance Movement Therapy for the rehabilitation of victims of trafficking, abuse and exploitation.

Dance Movement Therapy was virtually unheard of in India in the late 90s – but back then, classical dancer and sociology student Sohini Chakroborty began conducting classes at a shelter for trafficked women and children.

Each participant had a story of violence and trauma buried within them. Disenfranchised from their bodies and emotions and shunned by society, they had lost self worth & confidence - but not the urge to dance.

Artsworld went to one of the many master classes that Sanved organises across India.

The project has three main aims: To become the world’s largest artificial reef that will create  a new  home for a wide variety  of marine life, to become a hugely popular new dive location and to become a place that thousands of people will be willing to pay to make the reef their final resting place.

Artsworld visited the site that will become the Neptune Memorial Reef to see how construction is coming along.
