Kalanivas Heritage Fellows
Students from art and design institutions help artisans capture photographs, record stories and build their digital presence.
Fieldwork that makes a difference.
Volunteers assist with product photography, structured listings, regional art documentation and artisan onboarding, under institution or programme supervision.
Contributors can receive public attribution and verifiable participation records. Contact information is published only when explicitly permitted.
Volunteers are senior mentors (retired professors, teachers, practising artists, art historians) and students. Every volunteer is reviewed by Kalanivas before they are matched, and an artisan always has to say yes first.
