A Lighter Side of History: The Art of the Rangoli

A Lighter Side of History: The Art of the Rangoli


It is common to see a rangoli outside or in the homes of our Hindu neighbours during festivals such as Deepavali.

 

Ranging from simple to elaborate patterns, a rangoli is made up of simple materials such as powdered rice, flour, coloured sand or even spices. What is the significance of the rangoli during festivals such as the Festival of Lights? What inspires an artist when he or she creates a rangoli? Join us to find out more about the secrets behind this 5,000-year-old art form, and how this intangible cultural heritage with its mesmerising geometry and symmetry is still being practised in Singapore in both traditional and contemporary styles. In this workshop, participants will also have the chance to create their very own contemporary take-home rangoli!
