India is a land rich with art and culture. Whether it’s art or music, the country has an abundance of these treasures. But sadly, some of them are on the verge of being forgotten. The Legacy Project is a venture by Seagram’s 100 Pipers to bring them back into the spotlight. It provides a platform to artists to showcase their work to the world.
For the 2023 – 2024 initiative, we are focusing on Indian Folk Music. Each piece that is adorned on the Seagram’s 100 Pipers packaging is inspired by a folk music form and brought to life by an art form of that region. These are new pieces of work that have been created for the sole purpose of this project. Each piece is a reflection of the artist’s version of what goodness means to them.
