अलाव: एक साझा सपना /विमेंस कलेक्टिव

अलाव स्त्री रचनाशीलता को एक सामूहिक मंच देने का प्रयास हैं जहाँ सभी भगिनी कलाएं अपनी सकारात्मक उर्जा से दुनिया को सृजन की ऊष्मा प्रदान कर सकें और एक साझा सपने को सींचने में योगदान दे सकें। वह साझा सपना जहाँ कला और साहित्य का दामन थाम सभी स्त्रियाँ एक दूसरे के सपनों को पूरा करने, उनमें मनचाहे रंग भरने के लिए एक सुदृढ़ श्रृंखला का निर्माण करें। अलाव की तरह जिसकी सभी लकड़ियाँ एक सृजन सूत्र में बंधी हो और सामूहिक रूप से इस दुनिया को ख़ुद के लिए और अन्य स्त्रियों के लिए थोड़ा और बेहतर, थोड़ा और मनुष्यतर, थोड़ा और सहनशील एवं परिपक्व बनाने के लिए संलग्न हो सकें।

आधी आबादी मानी जाने वाली इस प्रजाति ने सदियों पहले ही यह सिद्ध कर दिया है कि सृष्टि के सृजन के अतिरिक्त, वह अपनी कला और अभिव्यक्ति से भी उसे संवारते रहने की क्षमता रखती है । दुनिया ने उसकी इस क्षमता को स्वीकारा और सराहा भी है।  इसके उपरांत भी एक स्त्री के लिए सृजन का सफ़र कभी आसान नहीं होता, परिवार, समाज की चुनौतियों, ज़िम्मेदारियों और उम्मीदों के मध्य अपनी अस्मिता तक पहुँच सकने की यात्रा आसान नहीं होती। अलाव का मंच उसी अंतर्यात्रा का सहचर बन हर स्त्री के साथ चलना और जलना चाहता है। उसके साथ सपने देखना और उन्हें साकार करना चाहता है। एक ऐसा मंच जिसे सभी समानान्तर कलाएं साथ मिलकर सीचेंगी और सवारेंगी और इस प्रक्रिया में अपनी सृजन यात्रा को भी समृद्ध करेंगी।

आपके रचनात्मक सहयोग की अपेक्षा में।

शुभकामनाओं सहित,

अलाव समूह

ALAAV: Women’s Collective, a shared dream, aiming to unite sibling art forms.

 
ALAAV is an effort to uphold the creative intellect of women. It is a platform where the positivity in sibling art forms collaborate to contribute their creative fire to the world and to nurture a collective dream. A collective dream in which women in the creative and literary fields come together to help each other’s dream come true. As in the fire, where the wood is tied in a common thread, the women in ALAAV come together collectively to make this world better, more humane, more tolerant and mature for themselves, for their kind as well as all others.
Women who contribute to half of the population of human beings on earth, have already proved their creative capacity to give birth to the human race and to adorn it with arts from times immemorial. Humanity at large accepts her a representative of creativity in  life, but the creative journey for a woman is full of challenges. Through all her social ties, family and personal responsibilities, she keeps her soul alive. ALAAV is a fellow traveller with her in her journey. ALAAV seeks to fulfill her dream. It’s a platform where all ART shall enrich while it unites to develop and nurture the common cause.
We look forward to connecting with you.
