“The old city of Jaipur is a labyrinth of craft narratives, many of whom have been here since the city was established almost 300 years ago. They didn’t fail to amaze us then and now, with better understanding of the crafts and its people, it is astounding—each lane, each craft and all the craftspeople who are following in their forefathers’ footsteps,” opens up Ritu Singh.

INSPIRED BY JAIPUR’S CRAFT LEGACY

Led by Ritu & Surya Singh, Wolf transforms discarded materials into contemporary art while celebrating traditional craft narratives. Initially working with scrap and found objects, they were drawn to artisans’ generational knowledge, integrating it into their art. Their collaboration for the Kochi Biennale 2018-19, incorporating Theyyam performance elements, marked a pivotal moment in their craft journey.
