In Reshaping Art, T. M. Krishna examines what art is and how we can harness its power to make ourselves and our communities open and sensitive. Well known for his attempts to break Karnatik music out of its high-caste confines, the author takes us through a journey of understanding what art means to different groups of people and the ways in which we all create and enjoy it. He then asks important questions about how art is made, performed and disseminated, and addresses crucial issues of caste, class and gender within society while exploring the contours of democracy, culture and learning.

Unorthodox, outstanding
Reviewed in India on 23 April 2024Verified Purchase
T.M Krishna has offered an unorthodox view of how art can transcend the artificially created barriers of caste, gender, family hierarchies often by the artists themselves. Although he did not delve too deep into each of his ideas but triggered many more thoughts in the minds of a reader. An excellent read.

Reiterating the values of inclusiveness ❤

A favorite book reaching our hand in a damaged condition is very disgusting. The hardcover of the book was of very old look and was torn in some edges. I requested for a replacement but it also got failed. Cloudtail India was the sellers. The printing inside and the paper quality were good anyway.
The writings of TMK is always inspirational for me and the same feeling for this book also❤. It gifted an informative and interesting reading and reiterated the values of inclusiveness in our minds .
