We’ve said it before. Just reiterating...
That's right.
We won't 'celebrate' Womens Day.
Certainly not by using it as a ridiculously flimsy excuse to promote & sell our work.
As ex-media professionals, both of us (Bhairavi & Rohit), spent years using all sorts of such days, causes, movements, heck, even 'revolutions' as advertising & selling opportunities for everything from soap & socks to celluloid sagas.
But.
We won't do it at Curators of Clay.
Here's what we will do.
And not just today or tomorrow or day after, but every day.
We will never discriminate.
Not by race.
Not by colour.
And certainly not by gender.
Our studio & our homes will always be safe environments.
For people.
And animals, alike.
We'll always respect everyone's personal choices.
Of whom to love, what to eat, what to wear, which political party to support... We may not always agree with some of these choices (especially if it concerns preferring other ceramics!) but we'll keep the discussion civil & open minded (even with the ceramics, we'll try!). And yeah, we might falter on these decisions, we might err, we will make mistakes too - but, we'll be ready to be corrected, shown a differing point of view, engage in civil but passionate debates & we may even change our minds.
But, we will do so, or atleast try to do all this, with grace & dignity.
And still, no, we won't 'celebrate' Womens (or anyone else's for that matter) Day.
There you go.
That's enough profundity of sorts for the day.
Now work beckons!
