DESCRIPTION:The Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA)\, through its Cultural Archives division\, is marking International Archives Week 2026 with a special programme that explores the connection between archives\, performance traditions\, and India’s living cultural heritage. The celebration brings together a curated puppet exhibition and live performances\, highlighting the role of traditional arts in preserving collective memory and cultural knowledge. \nA major attraction of the programme is a Puppet Exhibition drawn from the collections of the Cultural Archives at IGNCA. The exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to explore the diversity\, craftsmanship\, and storytelling traditions associated with puppetry across India. Showcasing archival material and traditional puppets\, it reflects how performance arts continue to serve as important carriers of history\, folklore\, and community identity. \nComplementing the exhibition are live performances of Amar Singh Rathore\, one of the most celebrated narratives in Rajasthan’s Kathputli tradition.
