Apart from that, the village is also home to crafts like Tussar paintings, palm leaf engravings, stone and wood carvings, wooden, cowdung and papier mache toys, and masks.
In 2000, after a two-year research and documentation project by INTACH, starting 1998, the village was chosen to be developed as state's first heritage village and developed as a Crafts village, soon the village had an interpretation centre, commissioned artwork on the walls of the artists’ homes and a rest house.
It also has the distinction of the only place where the traditional decoration called Patas, used under the throne of Lord Jagannath and on the three chariots during the annual Rath Yatra festival, that takes place at pilgrimage town of Puri, some 14 km away, known for the Jagannath Temple.
OVERVIEW
Situated amidst groves of coconut, palm, mango and jack fruit, the main village has two streets with over 120 houses, most decorated with mural paintings, where the painters reside and practice their pattachitra craft, besides many other that practices throughout the village, including traditional masks, stone idols, papier mache, sculptures, wooden toys. The village also a series of temples dedicated not only to Bhuasuni, the local deity but also to various Hindu gods including, Radha Mohan, Gopinath, Raghunath, Laxminarayan and Gouranga.
Around, 2000 it was developed as a heritage village by INTACH, and soon became a major rural tourist destination of the state, drawing tourist, both domestic and foreign to the village. Villagers were also trained to provide heritage walks to the visitors by the organisation, and has since become a template for heritage tourism in the region.
Today it is also the venue of the annual Basant Utsav - Parampara Raghurajpur (Spring Festival), which was first organized in 1993 under the aegis of State Tourism Department and astern Zonal Cultural Centre, Kolkata, held in the month of February/March and an important tourist draw.
PATTACHITRA
The pattachitra paintings are made over a piece of cloth known as Patta or a dried palm leaf, which is first painted with a mixture of chalk and gum. Over the prepared surface, colorful and intricate pictures of various Gods, Goddesses, and mythological scenes with ornamentation of flowers, trees and animals are then painted. The paintings on Tussar saris, especially the Sambalpuri Saree depicting Mathura Vijay, Raslila and Ayodhya Vijay owe their origin to ‘Raghurajpur Pattachitra paintings’.
LOCATION
It is situated 14 km away from Hindu pilgrimage town of Puri, on the southern banks of river Bhargabi (Bhargavi). Visitors from Puri take the Bhubaneswar road, near Chandanpur, on NH 203, and upon reaching the Chandanpur Bazaar, they can take a right turn to reach Raghurajpur. The village is then around 1.5 km from Chandanpur.

„SuperHeroes are Coming” is an international art project engaging young people aged 14-19 years from Wales, Poland and Georgia. The young people from Bytom in Poland and the Rhondda Valley in Wales come from a similar background – both areas share an industrial/mining past and are suffering its social, cultural and economic consequences.
The third group is formed from Internally Displaced People from Georgian living in temporary settlements around the Georgian capital Tbilisi.
The key idea of the project is to change the young people's way of thinking about the surrounding reality and encouraging them to take creative initiative. The exchange of knowledge about each other's countries will be a start to preparing local revolutions – actions aimed at initiating new life styles, raising living quality in places far from perfection. Dreams, fantasies, courage will be turned into strength. During the workshops run by artists and culture animators from Poland, Wales, Georgia, Spain and Italy the participants will create instalations, videos and tools to change the perspective on the world and on our lives. These will then be presented during the „New Life” exposition in the KRONIKA gallery. The art workshops will build foundations for the young people to create their own culture after coming back to their countries.
The meeting in Górki Wielkie is another stage of a project launched in 2011 in Bytom. At the ground of this long-term initiative lies the concept, that the change of thinking is a way for starting an internal revolution, on which you can support the change of the world. Following the words of Andrzej Urbanowicz from his „Art as a tool of internal revolution” manifesto:
„We need to take our times and all that they bring – the good and evil, that what is beneficial and what is burdensome, what is frightening and what is giving hope. Most of all we cannot hold still on our fixed positions, as it is equal to death and slow internal decay”.
The project is co-financed by the European Commission within the „Youth in Action” Programme.
The organizers are: The Polish Forum of European Education, the Valley Kids organization from Wales and the Youth Association DRONI from Georgia.
MIędzynarodowa Wymiana Młodzieży "Superbohaterowie nadchodzą"
„SuperHeroes are Coming” to międzynarodowy projekt artystyczny, w ramach którego odbędą się interdyscyplinarne warsztaty skierowane do młodzieży w wieku 14-19 lat z trzech krajów: Polski, Walii i Gruzji. W tygodniowym spotkaniu w Górkach Wielkich weźmie udział młodzież mieszkająca w Bytomiu i walijskiej krainie Rhondda Valley – obydwa miejsca łączy przemysłowa/górnicza przeszłość i konsekwencje transformacji, która wpłynęła na aktualny krajobraz nie tylko ekonomiczny, ale także kulturowy i społeczny. Trzecia grupa młodzieży to przesiedleńcy z Abchazji i Osetii Południowej mieszkający w tymczasowych osiedlach znajdujących się wokół stoilcy Gruzji – Tbilisi.
Kluczową ideą projektu jest zmiana myślenia młodych ludzi o otaczającej rzeczywistości i zachęcenie ich do przejęcia twórczej inicjatywy. Wymiana wiedzy na temat własnych krajów będzie początkiem przygotowania lokalnych rewolucji – akcji artystycznych, których celem będzie zainicjowanie nowych stylów życia podnoszących jakość mieszkania w światach dalekich od doskonałości. Marzenia, fantazja, odwaga staną się siłą. Podczas warsztatów prowadzonych przez artystów i animatorów kultury z Polski, Walii, Gruzji, Hiszpani i Włoch powstaną instalacje, film wideo, a także urządzenia zmieniajace punkt widzenia, które zostaną zaprezentowane podczas wystawy w Kronice „Nowe Życie” w terminie 17 sierpnia-30 września 2013 r. Warsztaty artystyczne zbudują podłoże do stworzenia własnej kultury przez młodych ludzi, która będzie rozwijana po powrocie do rodzimych krajów.
Spotkanie w Górkach Wielkich będzie kolejnym etapem projektu rozpoczętego w 2011 r. w Bytomiu. Podczas realizacji pierwszej odsłony „SuperHeroes are Coming”, w trakcie warsztatów prowadzonych przez Lukasa Stopczynskiego i Michała Korchowca, uczestnicy zaprojektowali kostiumy, przygotowali akcje w przestrzeni skierowane do mieszkańców Bytomia i wzięli udział w odbywającym się co roku w Bytomiu Międzygalaktycznym Zlocie Superbohaterów, organizowanym przez kolektyw BytoMy. Projektem towarzyszącym była przygotowania przez dzieci i młodzież instrukcja zamiany w SuperBohatera i odkrywania w sobie SuperMocy, na bazie której rok później pracowali animatorzy kultury wspólnie z dziećmi i młodzieżą w Rhondda Valley. W 2012 r. odbyła się Pierwsza Parada SuperBohaterów w Walli, w której wzięło udział kilkaset osób.
U podstaw długofalowego projektu „SuperHeroes are Coming”, który w założeniu będzie kontynuowany przez młodych ludzi w kolejnych krajach, leży przekonanie, że zmiana myślenia jest początkiem rewolucji wewnętrznej stanowiącej fundament, na którym można oprzeć zmianę świata – zgodnie z tym, co Andrzej Urbanowicz wyraził w manifeście „Sztuka jako narzedzie rewolucji wewnętrznej”.
„Musimy przyjąć swój czas i wszystko, co za sobą niesie, dobro i zło, korzystne i uciążliwe, przerażające i napełniające otuchą. Nade wszystko nie wolno nam stanąć na ustalonych pozycjach, bo to równa się wewnętrznej śmierci, powolnemu wewnętrznemu obumieraniu”.
Projekt realizowany jest przy wsparciu finansowym Komisji Europejskiej w ramach Programu „Młodzież w działaniu”.
Organizatorzy: Polskie Forum Edukacji Europejskiej, walijska organizacja Valleys Kids oraz gruzińskie stowarzyszenie Droni Youth Association.
This is what the documentation at my current job looks like. I work in Desktop Support and the other guy has all his notes on print outs in a giant folder. So I get to dig through this every time I need to find something.
My Russian fiancée is applying for a Danish visa, but even though it's a short 60-day tourist visa, the department of emigration needs "Documentation of the relationship" to make sure I'm not.. I don't exactly know what. Print-outs of Flickr photos, personal e-mail, phone bills, photocopies of stamps and visas from my passport etc. etc. It's like falling in love with someone outside Europe is a crime.
How I hate bureaucracy.

The digital landscapes in "Surface.Tension." series are attempts to explore conventions of representation. Specifically, they deal with the idea of "sublime" and its relation to the landscape, which quickly developed into a formalized way of composing a canvas and a formalized way of reading a composition. The overwhelming amount of data flowing through various digital networks (pointed to in this context by commercial advertisements) constitutes a new type of "sublime" experience. It is a dimension that is entirely human-made and it is pushing against a shell of any metaphor that we try encapsulate it in.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to curatorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with constructs such "masculinity" and "femininity". A sampling of subjects include Girls Girls Girls (the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band), Tazzie Colomb (the world's longest competing female bodybuilder), and LACTIC Incorporated (an avant-garde clothing brand that takes the detritus of corporate life and reinterprets it into one-of-a-kind structural garments that challenge the polarization of gender).
With this current and ongoing project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most innovative and singular performers of the currently exploding international alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project, and so far have created 250+ portraits. These are created in my studio as well as during residencies - in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig), Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and New England (3S Artspace).
This project began in early 2019 in my studio in Brooklyn, when I collaborated with a local visual artist by the name of Untitled Queen - a deeply beloved, highly respected, and uniquely visionary performer and conduit within the NYC drag scene who uses drag as a part and extension of her artistic process. I then worked with selected performers from Ohio and Kentucky in conjunction with a mid-career retrospective in my hometown of Cincinnati in the spring of 2019, and in January and February of 2020, I worked with 20+ New England-based drag artists as part of a residency and exhibition at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
From the autumn of 2020 until the summer of 2021, I was an artist in residence at The Cell Theatre in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, where I expanded the project in the midst of the pandemic to also include neo-burlesque performers and performance artists whose work deals specifically with gender performativity. Most recently was a residency in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio - which included creating video portraits of performers from the drag haus ODD Presents, members of the neo-burlesque troop Smoke & Queers, and other alt-drag and burlesque artists from the tri-state area. This residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events.
My long-term goal is to continue to do a series of such residencies nationally and internationally, which will allow me to create a comprehensive archive of video portraits of drag, burlesque and performance artists from a wide range of locations, backgrounds, cultures, and ages. Each portrait includes video of the artist performing (lip-synching, singing, telling stories, reciting monologues, dancing, etc.) in addition to interview documentation, and will live online as well as in galleries and unexpected places in between. "Life is Drag" has so far been exhibited at such venues as the the Carnegie Museum of Art and Bunker Projects (PA), Satellite Art Club, Bushwig and The Cell (NYC), 3S Artspace (NH), and the Weston Art Gallery (OH).
I believe this project is innovative and important in that it is treating and respecting "drag" (defined as broadly and inclusively as possible) as a proper art form – recognizing it as an extremely vital and valid style of performance art, and every bit as deserving of the deference reserved for more traditional classical art forms like painting and sculpture. Drag is painting and sculpture and performance all at once - and quite often also activism, education, protest, therapy, resistance, catharsis, comedy, tragedy, enlightenment, inspiration - or some combination of the above - to those who practice it, and also to those who experience it as an observer. This project is about celebrating this experimental and expansive form of art and its wide range of practitioners and manifestations. It is about creating a record - an archive - of these brilliant but ephemeral performances, from dive bars to art galleries, city streets to grand theater stages. It is about trying to properly document and share these wildly diverse acts and profound stories that will surely open minds and capture hearts.
