Produktbeschreibung
Contemporary Indian artists are reinterpreting traditional craft techniques, breathing new life into age-old practices. This exhibition and accompanying book show how contemporary artists are reinventing craft techniques, exploring identity and cultural history. Embroidery, a skill passed down through generations, is central to this exploration. Traditionally practiced by women, it's now embraced by both genders. The exhibition highlights the work of Madhvi and Manu Parekh, who draw inspiration from India's rich spiritual and artistic traditions. Their works, ranging from paintings to sculptures, reflect the interplay between the real and the imaginary. The Chanakya School of Craft works with these artists to reinterpret their work through embroidery. This fusion of art and craft challenges traditional boundaries and creates a dialogue between past and present.
