EXHIBITIONS
Taanbaan has organized exhibitions of hand-spun/ hand-woven textiles along with workshops on request from sponsors including educational institutions, stores and corporate houses for their specific clientele in India and abroad. These exhibitions have represented the classic traditional as well as the contemporary application of traditional techniques, not easily replicable on machines.
FUTURE
Continuity
Taanbaan with the idea of providing further impetus & energy, hopes to interact & pass on through various platforms to the future generation, the philosophy, knowledge base & know how in order to sustain the design, production & marketing of this unique range of products.
Induction Scheme
Taanbaan, supported the idea to initiate a bonus scheme for spinners & weavers who can reintroduce those who have left these vocations & joined the general deskilled labour market. The beneficiaries are likely to be both those who will reintroduce & those who are reintroduced into this vocation.
Rehab Program
In an effort to widen the base of handspun-handlooms & also to bridge the ever widening gap between the well to do & those who have no opportunities for meaningful employment in the present phase of rapid industrialization. Taanbaan has proposed a rehab program of one year for the urban/rural poor especially people reduced to begging in the streets who will be involved through food for work programmes & trained in hand spinning, weaving & stitching of cotton, silk tussar & eri fabrics. They will thereafter be rehabilitated in their respective villages & their production supported by design & quality supervision by a state team with its central counterparts. It is also a means of building a future in which India could perhaps be the only country that could retain a space & relevance for hand skills in low tech areas.
