| Notes | This book, as did the first book “The Dolls Speak”, presents a second collection of dolls made over a period of more than 25 years by Francoise Bosteels, a Belgian by birth who came to India more that 30 years ago. “Francoise too had a dream. Her dolls began to speak: they speak of the people’s everyday lives; they speak from the margins; they offer their pain, their poverty but also their celebration, their hope; her dolls speak of the many faces of violence; of exclusion; of hunger; of homelessness. There is a rage there, but it is offered gently, evocatively, inviting the viewer to think, to feel, to cross the lines, to break new ground; to leave the straight unilinear path of what is dominant and to search in the forest for old wisdoms, ancient paths, forgotten knowledges; to find new ways of survival; to listen differently; to hear the cries for justice. Another world must be possible!” |
