‘Crafting Change- Apni Kala, Apni Awaaz’ at The Kunj
4th – 24th May 2026 | The Kunj, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi
Following the exhibition at Triveni Kala Sangam, Rangsutra proposes to extend Crafting Change – Apni Kala, Apni Awaaz to The Kunj, a space that brings together craft, Indian heritage, and contemporary design within a premium retail and cultural environment.
The Kunj represents a new imagination of craft, where traditional knowledge intersects with modern aesthetics, luxury, and evolving consumer sensibilities. This makes it an ideal site to deepen the conversation around craft, its future, and its relevance to younger audiences.
Rangsutra’s 20-year journey will serve as the anchor, while the space becomes a platform to:
- Explore craft as livelihood, identity, and enterprise
- Examine craft within contemporary and luxury markets
- Engage youth, designers, and consumers in shaping its future
- Encourage hands-on interaction through workshops and conversations
