PATKATHA : Textile Heritage Exhibition

In the exhibition ‘Patkatha’, we explore the threads of connections through stories woven into fabric. These personal, yet social, narratives will allow us to reveal the rich tapestry of cultural traditions that beautifully bind us and further emerge as the culture of the community. Going thread by thread, we will also observe keenly the various facets of the culture, their meanings, symbolism, and purpose. Some of these artefacts may look familiar, but the idea is to understand their unfamiliar narratives and weave them seamlessly into our daily experiences.

Each piece in this exhibition also tells a tale of the artisans who created this unmatched artistry. It is also the tale of those who have developed, appreciated, and passionately promoted the sustainable traditional techniques that make these fabrics a true work of art.
