To capture people’s experiences in playing traditional games, Kreeda has come up with a travelling journal. “For years now, we have understood that it is not merely enough to revive the games but to understand the spirit in which the games were played. Stories of play tell us much about how people lived, how they interacted, how they built relationships and even how they loved. We have been visiting old age homes, documenting people’s experiences in play and the games they played. With COVID, such interactions have become more difficult. Also, the logistics of documenting people’s experiences across the country has always been a challenge. So, we have decided to come up with an innovative idea of creating a travelling journal. This journal will travel from person to person allowing them to document by writing, drawing, painting, sketching or in any other form, their experiences of the past and their memories of play,” says Vinita Sidhartha, founder of Kreeda Games.
