This vibrant new exhibition places contemporary Indian textile designers and artists within the wider context of international art and fashion and examines the reinvention of traditional textiles through the sari, uncut cloth, street wear as well as textiles and fiber as contemporary art.
‘Unfolding: New Indian Textiles’ has been developed by independent curator, public art coordinator and artist Maggie Baxter to coincide with her new book on contemporary Indian textiles. Ms. Baxter has travelled to India for more than two decades, where she has worked with traditional crafts in the Kutch region of North West India since 1990.
