Ghat Ghat Kabir, The Kabir Project
Bangalore, India
Ghat Ghat Kabir Book and CD Design
The Kabir project brings together the experiences of a series of ongoing journeys in quest of this 15th century north Indian mystic poet as well as other Bhakti and Sufi poets in our contemporary worlds. Started in 2003, these journeys inquire into the spiritual and socio-political resonances of Kabir’s poetry through songs, images and conversations. Kena team has designed two books and corresponding CD cases for The Kabir project.
Ghat Ghat Kabir is an 80-page book on selected poems of Kabir featuring 10 different vocalists from varying musical genres. This dual language book narrates 20 poems and their meanings along with a detailed profile of each of the 10 artistes. Each poem uses a calligraphic visual to evoke the spirit of the poem. Kena designers and students of Srishti along with architect and calligrapher Dharmesh Jadeja produced calligraphic compositions during a workshop facilitated at Srishti. Each of these calligraphic compositions were then modified and treated visually to resonate with the meaning of each poem.
