De-colonising the Aesthetic Sense:The story of craft revival in Aruvacode potters’ village
Published By: CDS/eSS | Published Date: April, 21 , 2004Experiential knowledge is what indigenous knowledge is all about. Unfortunately again the Western intellectuals are reframing indigenous knowledge to suit their purposes.

A narrative of the experience.
