Event Description : "Design, in crossing the threshold of skills The Sujani Story" a talk by Swati Kalsi - the unraveling of a dream in reinterpreting the craft.
Sujani, the embroidery tradition of Bihar presents the genius of exceptional women who for well over a century have created distinctive works of art for their homes and families.
Unfortunately, in a society driven by mechanization , fast mass production and ever-changing consumer choices, these hand skills, representative of these women's identities are no more relevant.
But stitching is a skill that should not die because it can support livelihoods.
The talk aims to bring to light the various facets of the traditional handcraft and the designer's interface with it to explore a way forward.
About the speaker :
Swati Kalsi, a Textile and Fashion Designer, has worked with handcrafted textiles, for about a decade.
Over the years, she has been noted to have brought contemporary relevance to the time honoured handcrafted textiles of artisans.
She engages with artisans in interactive creative processes, to enhance the artist in them, creating pieces of work, treading on the edge of design, craft and art.
Her work has made space for itself in the homes and wardrobes of eminent national and international artists, collectors, connoisseurs and museums like the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
