Production Designer: Dashrath Patel
Dashrath Patel, a leading Indian artist and designer, has studied in
Madras, Paris, Prague and New York. He has worked and moved among
some of the 'giants' of contemporary art. He was first given a camera by
Henri-Cartier Bresson, studied architecture with Buckminster Fuller,
worked musically with John Cage and worked in design and design-education
with Charles and Ray Eames, to name but a few. The Indian Government handpicked
Patel to establish the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad - now one of the
world's leading design schools. Patel spent 19 years at NID during which time he
designed and coordinated a series of Festivals of India. These were large-scale exhibition
installations aimed at projecting India's profile abroad. Patel then went to Sewapuri,
which is a rural design school based upon Gandhian principles, where he has
concentrated on teaching design workshops.
