Sutr Santati: Then. Now. Next.
Sutr Santati translates to ‘the continuity of thread’ in Hindi. As the exhibition title, it is a metaphor for ongoing dialogues in Indian society which shape its evolution, bridging the past with the future. Explore ideals of organic and slow consumerism, ecological preservation and the collaborative efforts which are needed to push towards these ideals.
This limited-time exhibition coincides with 75 years of India’s Independence, bringing together diverse textile traditions from across the country, created by some of the most prominent contemporary artisans, craftspeople and designers.
The exquisite and varied textiles were created using the processes of hand weaving, embroidery, resist-dyeing, printing, painting, appliqué, and more.
The themes, techniques and materials of specially commissioned fabrics in the exhibition are viewed through the lens of innovation, defining the country’s contemporary artistic landscape, and to push its creativity into the future.
