Journey of Objects (JoB) is your map to the crafts of India. Over here you'll find objects from the furthest reaches of the country collected during reporting trips.
JoB is deeply intertwined with our journalism published in a quarterly magazine called Object. As reporters we have access to parts of the country that are often overlooked. During field visits, in far-flung villages, as we investigate stories, we also stumble upon ways of life that are rapidly slipping away from the cities. In these parts of the country, villagers continue to be swaddled in the softest cotton; families continue to eat the food they farm; people live in harmony with the nature around them, making boxes, bags and plates with the bounties nature affords them.
Object works with these people in bringing their products to the market as well as injecting back into these communities through skill upgradation. This takes us to self-help groups and tribal clusters across the country. Each trip is documented in the journeys, and the stories we pick up are shared here as well as in Object.
