Nina Sabnani's storytelling house is an unusual stand-up book which unfolds visual narratives like multiple windows on a computer screen! She brilliantly adapts a traditional storytelling from India and creates an interactive book with a contemporary look and feel. The Kaavad is a portable wooden shrine used by traditional storytellers in Rajasthan, India. Its many-hinged panels display vibrantly painted scenes from local myths and folktales. The Kaavadiya Bhat narrates the stories, opening up each painted panel as he goes along, pointing each figure with a peacock feather. Through the stories he reinforces inter-connections within his community and establishes his own space in it.
