This time it is pop-art from the small town Sivakasi in Southern Tamil Nadu which is the fireworks manufacturing capital of India. Linked to gigantic printing presses with in house studios and artists, this town now produces a wide range of colourful, kitsch posters and calendar art for the millions in India.
