About this Event
Through an illustrative talk using heritage and contemporary textiles, Shamji will narrate the evolution of handloom weaving from the semi-deserts of Kutch, Gujarat. He carefully divides the collection of weaves before and after the 1970s.
During the talk, Shamji will unveil Loom of Life, a recent textile art handwoven by Shamji and his family. Using undyed fine cotton this narrative piece illustrates various parts of the handloom, selected processes involved in preparation of the loom and the most traditional motifs handwoven using natural colours.
