A significant part of the project would be an attempt to learn the work ethics of a weaver, who sits quietly on a loom, weaving a seven-yard fabric. To weave as a daily routine. While aiming to hone my skills with each 'satak-su' sound...
With some experience working on the table loom from my previous project, I will learn to weave on a full-frame loom. It's an extension of Project 2 in the sense that one keeps the 'embedded narrative' intact but also attempts to reflect on the meaning of creativity in our times.
One part of the project is a collaborative association with ten B.Tech. IITB students and Mr. Shrinu (a weaver at Weaver Service Centre, Mumbai) over a period of three months. It would be a collective engagement with weaving, thereby creating handloom products such as scarves, mats, and tote bags. To reflect on the sartorial choices that fill our wardrobe, with high-end brands like Fabindia at one extreme and Khadigram apparel at the other end.
