Bringing together self-publishing artists from across India
Fostering conversations on art books and independent publications

The Padithavudan Kizhithuvidavum fair is organized by Kannadi Cupboard, an everyday gallery that aims to bring together people with a desire to create. The event serves as a platform for self-publishing artists from different parts of the country to exhibit their work, which includes illustrations, photographs, written material, poetry, and various other creative forms.

The fair's primary intention is to foster conversations around art books and zines, which are often not seen in mainstream book fairs in Chennai. The setup is designed on the floor to encourage a relaxed environment, allowing both the audience and creators to interact at leisure and engage in meaningful discussions about the self-published material.
