Abstract
This report summarises the discussions of a symposium held in Kolkata in November 2018, when eleven interested resource persons, including members of the mritshilpi community and those who work closely with them, met to discuss the issues facing Kumartuli and its people. The document also outlines a research design for a pilot study, aimed at identifying the crucial questions that need to be asked in order not only to address the crisis currently facing this traditional community in an effective and inclusive way, but also to go beyond the problem of ‘heritage in crisis’, and learn how heritage-facing cultures might be given a voice and thrive.
