Stitching, reading, dance, cooking — skills shared for free.
Community space
A not-for-profit community space in Mattancherry where local people meet to learn and share skills through stitching, reading, dance, cooking, gardening, and other activities. Its programme also includes free exhibitions and workshops: one connected event invited children to show their work and take part in clay modelling and calligraphy. Check the space's current programme before visiting, as activities are scheduled rather than permanent.
