Stitching stories
What: Titled ‘The Needle Reverence’, here’s an exhibition of Kanthas — an ancient Indian hand embroidery, which is said to have originated in Murshidabad, Bengal — from the late 19th century till pre-independence; and contemporary Kantha created in the 1990s, initiated by the renowned sculptor, the late Meera Mukherjee. Kantha embroidery showcases elements of nature such as the sun, the tree of life, oceans, animals and the cosmic universe. Day to day life was the biggest source of inspiration behind the art work. The motifs were either figurative – depicting religious themes and myths, narrating stories and folklore — or abstract with borders and geometrical patterns. So, drop by to get a glimpse of this craft that has been a source of economic independence for rural women for decades now.
