About the Book: Reshaping Art
In Reshaping Art, T. M. Krishna examines what art is and how we can harness its
power to make ourselves and our communities open and sensitive. Well known for
his attempts to break Karnatik music out of its high-caste confines, the author
takes us through a journey of understanding what art means to different groups
of people and the ways in which we all create and enjoy it. He then asks
important questions about how art is made, performed and disseminated, and
addresses crucial issues of caste, class and gender within society while
exploring the contours of democracy, culture and learning.
