Information on special exhibitions from October to December.
This year, there has been no major deviation from the basic theme, including medium and thick-count khadi from Bengal, indigenous cotton fabrics from various regions, and fabrics in which traditional patterns are reinterpreted in collaboration with Ajurak artisans.
However, there are many changes happening in the work in the village... and we are experiencing the difficulty of making the same fabric in the same way every year.
Our fabrics have weathered many waves, including excessive efficiency and commercialism, various lies, and the difficulty of obtaining reliable raw materials...or rather, they have somehow made it to the shore while standing beside those enormous swells of the tides.
Come see and taste this year's harvest.
