Threads - Memories Stored

A few years ago, we locked ourselves in a photography studio with a suitcase full of saris, passed from mother to daughter to granddaughter. What emerged were a series of images that spoke to Paul Gilroy’s ‘a memory stored in safe keeping until a means of translation can be found’. This, we believe could become the source of new possibilities for the present and future generations to express our histories and memories through inherited fashion.
