Curatorial project 2012
‘VASTRAM : THE SPLENDID WORLD OF
INDIAN TEXTILES’
Project by: Indian Council of
Cultural Relations
Indian textiles were a principal
commodity in the trade of the pre-industrial age and were prized for their
fineness in weave, brilliance in colour, rich variety in designs and a dyeing technology
which achieved a fastness of colour unrivalled in the world. Indian cottons had
achieved global reach by trade dominating world’s textile market during the
sixteenth century. As a curator of this, I had proposed to categorise the
Indian textiles in three categories of painted printed,
woven-non-woven,embroidery and embellishments . Further investigated the
global influences on new materials, machine spun yarn for handloom cotton and
synthetic dyes for vegetable and mineral dyes .The role of Indian
government after independence as how Indian textiles sustained with new
techniques, technology introduction, research on documentation and yet
conserving the traditions.

Video Installation+Poetry performance
AN ODE TO NEEL DARPAN
My video installation for the Midnight Tea in Mumbai is inspired by a literary text ‘Neel Darpan’ (1860) written by Dinbandhu Mitra. I will be constructing a narrative of the play ‘Neel Darpan’ in poetry of words performing and examining the period where the indigo farmers died of hunger and unsung and unheard . The video installation builds on my art work from ‘Indigo Narrative’ series 2009-12.”
