Maati Centre
Maati Centre, Guwahati located in Uzan Bazaar is an initiative of a Pabitra Lama Sarmah, former World Bank employee. The initiative is also supported by the Rishi Raj Sarmah, her husband.
The purpose behind the construction of Maati Center was to give patronage to budding talents and to the local handicraft of Guwahati. A lot of artisans are from places that need support from people, such as Tihar Jail and Dastakar Ranthambore. The centres has become a wonderful blend of regional arts and local culture. Maati centre provides opportunity to showcase young and independent artists and gives them exposure in order to promote handicrafts and heritage. To restore the long lost culture, the centre documents, protects and maps the oral, folk and tribal arts.
