When: December 12 and December 13, 2019
Time: 11 am to 5 pm
For over five decades, textile revivalist and fashion designer Ritu Kumar has travelled around the world studying historical Indian textile collections and contemporary traditions of hand-making. Ritu Kumar presents Kanaat; a brief history of painted and printed Indian Textiles; an exhibition which presents historical pieces, archival images and collages around the diverse traditions of hand painting and hand printing on cloth. This showcase also highlights Kumar’s efforts to recreate their timeless appeal in contemporary collections for her eponymous label Ritu Kumar Home.
The word kanaat refers to textile panels which were used to create walls, screens and tents over centuries in the Indian subcontinent. Historically, many of these were meant for furnishings, interiors and architecture. Forming travelling palaces, garden pavilions and sacred spaces, they reflected the outstanding genius of Indian dyers, artists and printers which developed in the Indian subcontinent over centuries. They conjured celebratory worlds of flora and fauna with the use of exceptional colours, fabrics, techniques and skills, producing masterpieces which remain unparalled. Made for both local markets and for export, such patterned textiles — made in India — further inspired the growth of printed fabric in other parts of Asia and Europe.
