Sangeeta will talk about handcrafted textiles from India with a special focus on the crafts meant for beautifying the cloth after it comes off the loom. She will offer an overview of the post-loom textile crafts in India, like embroideries, block printing, etc. and discussing stories of specific textile crafts, she will trace the evolution of the textile industry with changing times and aesthetics. After the talk, there will be a sale of a select range of stoles, shawls, saris and home-furnishings.
