An exhibition that traces aesthetic history of Indian textiles since 1947

The exhibits include artworks by textile designers, home furnishings, sculptures and, of course, apparel

India is considered the repository of a historical textile and handloom tradition. But what is often not fully explored is how through the various junctures in history, Indian designers have also consistently created a new language for textile as well reimagined old narratives within a new context. 

To give expression to this idea, Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur, will host an exhibition titled “New Traditions: Influences & Inspirations in Indian Textiles, 1947-2017”. Curated by textile designer and archivist Mayank Mansingh Kaul and designed by art curator Reha Sodhi, this ambitious project is an attempt to chronicle contemporary innovations and revolutionary techniques
