Aksharaya in collaboration with Soma Commercial organised an outstation workshop and camp in which 20 young Designers from Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore were invited to participate. The ‘Indian Letterform In 3D’ a first of its kind event was aimed
towards exploring a new aspect of Indian letterform design and derivation with paper as the medium. Shabda (word) was the underlying theme of the event. Words from any Indian language in their respective scripts were to be expressed in 3D (relief or sculpture) as per their contextual meaning or derivations.
