Fieldworkers at work

A Project for Creating a Digital Depository of Oral Knowledge of Mudugar and Kurumbar with the help of World Oral Literature Project, University of Cambridge

Mudugar-Kurumbar Research Centre, Attappady

The team sets out with a definite focus for fieldwork. Having a community member (Ramu K.A) in our team makes it easy for us to go to Mudugar hamlets.

Sometimes the journey is easy. . Sometimes tiring. . .

However difficult, we reach the spot and set up the equipments for shooting Ramu K.A DineshKumar

Interviews in the subject’s home is a technique in our fieldwork to document the knowledge and memories of the community From Left: Chaathi, Sachindev P.S. and Ramu K.A. From Left: Kurumbi, Ranki, Ramu K.A. and Kiran Tom Sajan

The month of May, 2010, was dedicated to exploring the dress and ornamental patterns of Mudugar. After a month’s field work, a video- documentary titled, thenevare (‘Dressing up’ in Mudugar language), was co-scripted and edited by Kiran Tom Sajan. Some interesting moments . . .
