Gond-Vana

Multidisciplinary Designer Mitsu K. Shah (@mitsukshah) participated in the Kinaesthetic Time Capsules program, kindly hosted by TALES, and Antariksha on the topic of endangered Indian cultures and ecology. Gond-Vana draws inspiration from the ancient beliefs of the Gond tribe—traditional forest dwellers in Central India—to reveal the profound connection between trees and life itself. Contemplative gameplay was paper prototyped to immerse players in traditional Gond craft, and evoke delicate player inputs that underscore the spiritual setting. Gond-Vana is set to launch on the World of Us cultural game platform (@worldofus_wou).
