More discussion around endangered traditions.

Odissi music is a system of Indian classical music with a history spanning more than a thousand years. It has its own repertoire of indigenous ragas, a vast body of literature in the Odia language and a distinct style of rendition. This project is an attempt to make more people aware of this rich tradition by providing carefully curated content, and bring some much-needed attention to the hundreds of dedicated musicians in the villages of Odisha who have kept alive this ancient art. The Odissi Project is a part of the documentation initiative Pothi. To see more such content, look at www.pattaprateek.com

I use technology to empower language and preserve culture
My work consists of several projects to create digital documentation of vulnerable cultural practices including performing arts, musical traditions, lesser known monuments, neglected languages and palm leaf manuscripts. I call this Project Pothi. This makes cultural history more accessible, understandable and preserves it for the future.

Apart from that, I research and write about Odisha’s ancient culture on the lines of mythology, visual & performing arts and ethnomusicology. The core of my work is to elevate the power of digital mediums like YouTube & Twitter and through them make people aware of and encourage more discussion around endangered traditions. This thorough documentation backed by research makes information more accessible, approachable and understandable. I strongly believe a good online presence of our cultural nuances is inevitable in today’s age, and all of us must work together towards this.
