Artist Kalam Patua—born into the Patua community of scroll painters and storytellers from Kalighat in #Kolkata—is one of the few remaining names associated with #Kalighat-style painting today.
Who would have thought that the self-taught exponent—credited with reviving this 19th-century art almost single-handedly—works with the Indian postal services as a postmaster and pursues his passion for painting only at night.The now-rare art of Kalighat of pre-independent Kolkata initially started with purely religious themes and later widened to include local customs, social issues, and topical events, as seen today in Kalam’s works which eloquently depict the absurdities of modern life.

Jagannath Balram Subhadra
I tried drawing in the Odia Patachitra style. I have newfound IMMENSE respect for Patuas now. I drew this digitally with the privilege of an undo button and symmetry tool. How do they manage far superior and intricate artworks on paper with limited scope of correction is beyond me.

Notes
Kalighat painting is a school of painting in Kalighat, a small district in Calcutta. It is named after the celebrated Hindu goddess Kali. Kalighat painting originated from the folkart tradition of rural Bengal. The Patuas or picture makers had migrated from Bengal in the early nineteenth century. There are a range of subjects from religious imagery of Hindu gods, goddesses and stories to natural history, social types and proverbs. The range of materials used in drawing are pencil, watercolour, indian ink and silver paint

August 17! Today we celebrate Afrocostarican culture!
i always confuse black history month because for us it's in August and for the United States is on February(?) correct me if wrong!
So today i wanted to celebrate it by sharing some data with you, note the information i'm about to display is from when i was a history student in 2022. Information may vary,have changed or anything else! Also i'm kinda bad with dates,im really sorry so im just putting like general time lapses.
Afrocostarican poblation started in Limon,the UFCO(United Fruit Company) was looking for people who could work on the heat and complicated conditions of Limon(today is very modern but back then think of it like an amazingly hot and humind jungle with tons of snakes) many were brought to work from people from the capital to immigrants from italy and China but those who stayed were the Jamaican people.
The workers were free which meant they were no longer slaves this by no means their stay here was made easy, racism and discrimation were and still are rampant angaist this poblation. It came to the point that Limon's citizen weren't recognizes as such until late 1900.Their ID starts with a 7 to signify the 7'nth province to join the republic of Costa Rica.
They have their own set of dialects Patua(Criolle Patois) is what they are most known for but if i rememeber well , english is actually the most common.
Cuisine is also greatly influenced by jamaican heritage instead of "rice and peas" we have rice and beans, which is delish is made with coconut milk,ginger,thyme and panama pepper and served normally with meat(It used to be turtle meat!). Pan bon also with ginger , Pati a savory spicy Pastry and my favorite Plantinta(abreviattion of Platain Tart) which is a sweet plantain pastry.
Music wise there is a own variation of Calypso, Limons Calypso. I'm not a music student and can not dissect this topic well but i do know reggae and jamaican ska were great inspirations for this genre of music. If you are looking to, you can listen to Walter Ferguson the emblem of Costa Rican Calypso.
And lastly a bittersweet data, from our understanding the plan wasn't to stay and make roots here, it was always was the plan to eventually return to Jamaica or for some Africa.
To which the Black Star Line was created but it never fullfield it's prooupose. It was burned in 2016 but has been rebuild to sme degree. It's closed too so sadly,no museum.
This were snippets of afrocostarican history ,this was what i learned in class and thefore not the best approach to it since im myself i'm not afrocostarican but i still tougth important and interesting to share.

Loved Ming Lan!! (especially her relationship with her grandmother).
Tried making this in the Kalighat school of painting style. Patachitra flourished during 19th century in Bengal under the British- though patuas existed for centuries. One of the few painting art forms from the subcontinent that incorporated volume (pats were inspired by clay sculptures)
They were mass produced before mechanical production, by 1930 they were replaced by olegraphs.
A truly syncretic, modern and popular art from the subcontinent, and one I was familiar with growing up
