The semester celebrated the story of a common man and their daily life. From everyday food and the means of making a livelihood to the festivities and making of a home, each exercise was an ode to the life of a commoner. Exercises were done with an intention of understanding the significance of crafts and the craftspeople while engaging in designs that spoke of the same. The final exercise- designing the exhibition was a conclusive one that takes the visitor through the daily shenanigans of a commoner while introducing different " Kursi's" as everyday craft objects.
