KIDART - Gujarat Earthquake 2001

A Disaster. Killing of approximately 100,000 people. In January, 2001, Gujarat (India) was hit by a severe earthquake.

This site is put up, to study the effect of this disaster in the young, innocent, creative minds.

Do check the art, pictures created by the kids in the days after the accident. And note the kids' thoughts about the future. Slowly, when the situation calmed down, the children received new parents, and schools reopened. The drawings and texts created by children at a local art school indicates this. Motives are more happy, though they were made only weeks after the fatal earthquake.

Have you gone through any such disasters? Volcanos, Earthquakes, Tornadoes, Storms, Floodings? Contribute your Experiences/ Expressions/ Art here.

We appreciate your comments.

 
Thank you,
