A traditional method of weaving fabric, patola weaving follows the double ikat  resist-dyeing method, in which both the warp and weft are both resist-tied and dyed before the weaving begins. Patola are known for their rich colours and patterns and sharply defined motifs, which are achieved through the meticulous preparation of warp and weft threads, followed by resist-dyeing and, finally, weaving.

Catalogue Published in conjunction with the "Voyage of A Cloth' exhibition (Jakarta 1988), this book celebrates the double-ikat silk fabric in which both warp and weft are separately tie-dyed before weaving. It is the acme of the weaver's skill.

Some pictures from the Sutr Santati exhibition in New Delhi, a textile exhibition that brings together various diverse weaving methods and fabrics if the country.

Top to bottom:

Hanging by a Thread by Lakshmi Madhavan: Fine cotton with zari fabric by Aravind Vijayan and family; Kerala - The words "anybody", "nobody", "somebody", "everybody" is woven into the fabric and morphs binaries between caste, class, gender.

The Moon Birds by Bappaditya Biswas: Cotton; West Bengal - Artist's involvement in reviving Jamdani weaving

Antarman by Sukanya Garg: Habotai silk , Gujarat - Using visuals of cellular biology to create iterations of the crescent moon (symbol of the flow of time), the textile symbolises the journey towards the timeless self, finding out own inner voice and self realization.

Tota Maina ki Kahani, Himroo ki Zubani by Ahmed Saeed Qureshi, Imran Ahmed Qureshi, Shaikh Yaseen: Cotton, Silk; Maharashtra - Based on the folklore of the love of the parrot and the mynah, the artist asks where will the birds perch now to chirp away and express their love? He feels it is no longer possible with the number of trees being cut down.

Brighton & Hove News, 28 July 2023:

'A Brighton family have literally stopped traffic with a new mural inspired by a sari pattern on their new home.

Poppy Jaman and Jaan Madan moved to Southampton Street in Hanover in January, and immediately knew they wanted to make a splash when decorating the outside.

She said: “One of the reasons we wanted to move to the centre of Brighton is that it’s so colourful.

“We were inspired by murals in Washington where there’s a whole area where there’s murals which have been created out of adversity.

“That inspired the idea of making a statement with our home. I wanted to not just paint something that I love. If you just love something that’s enough, but I also wanted to say here’s a bit of my identity.

“I collect saris and Jamdani is a signature saris of Bangladesh. It’s got a colonial past to it.

📷 X

The mural is inspired by the Jamdani weave saree, the signature saree of Dhaka, Bangladesh, which dates back at least as far back as 300BC.

Between the 16th and 19th centuries, Jamdani fabric – so fine it was known as ‘woven air’ – was one of the most highly coveted commodities in Mughal courts and further afield. However, by the mid-19th century, Jamdani had become almost extinct.

Poppy has written more about her relationship with the Jamdani design and its colonial history here.'

The most BEAUTIFUL thing I've seen in a LONG TIME

"Svairini" means "Freedom" (approximately) in Sanskrit. However, when it was in circulation, around 4000 years ago, it was used to degrade/slut-shame/put down women in business/working women, unmarried women, queer women, etc.

Now, the brand Svairini has reclaimed it to honor independence and individuality through personal style.

Their collections are GORGEOUS! And actually pretty accessible. I was guessing each piece would go for like $300 or so considering the craftsmanship, but they're actually around the $100-$150 range. Considering how much bang for your buck you're getting, it's absolutely worth it imo.

And the brand made a short film called Moksha.

"Moksha follows a forward-thinking young woman with an innate flair for high fashion that almost drowns in shame (literally) from a haunting conservative upbringing."

It's the story of the brand. It sounds really interesting!

"We boast proudly that over 90% of our crew are women, with a majority being WOC."

I'm losing my mind. Where has this been all my life lol

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

During this AAPI Heritage Month we present Other Imaginings, an artists book made of hand-spun and woven Khadi cloth, with images woven, silkscreened, and relief printed by Indian artisans at Sri Gandhi Ashram in Akbarpur, the Chinmoyee Kala Niketan in Varanasi and Rudraksh in Jaipur. The images were curated and the project coordinated by American visual artist Aaron Sinift in collaboration with his Indian colleagues Kahkashan Khan and Jitendra Kumar. The book was produced in the state of Uttar Pradesh by 5YearPlan.org in 2016 in a limited edition of 100 copies.

The project explores universal aspects of Gandhian visual culture in discourse with contemporary international artists and new ashram artist commissions. Sinift writes:

This book is a seva (service) in honor of Mohandas Gandhi (1892-1948) and inspired by the khadi cloth he wore and propagated throughout India. Gandhij sae khadi as a swadeshi (locally produced & used)fabric to clothe a free and independent India. . . . OTHER IMAGININGS is an attempt to introduce Gandhiji’s counter-industrial vision of village self-sufficiency. . . . This book in an artifact (art & fact) of a living tradition of service that continues into the present day, and is curated as a mix of deshi & videshi (local + foreign), Gandhi ashram & contemporary art. We hope you will take the time to consider the qualities of this home-spun khadi . . . and linger on its fragrance and tactile qualities as evidence of the hundreds of hands contributing to its creation. . . .

The book includes images designed by several non-Indian artists, such as Judith Linhares, Dorothy Iannone, Jenny Holzer, Philip Taaffe, Duncan Tonatiuh Smith, and Yoko Ono. Except for the cover, we are only showing the pages designed by Indian artists here. Click on the images for attributions.
