Exhibition



Gardens of Our Times

The ‘Gardens of Our Times’ show is the result of a workshop conducted at DakshinaChitra for the students of the Textile Department of NIFT. The workshop was set in the context of an exhibition ‘Travelling Patterns’. The workshop conducted by designers Nina Sabnani and Ruchi Shah introduced the students to you to practitioners who approach textiles in two distinct ways - creating new forms or artworks from existing textiles and developing a new visual language inspired by textiles. This one-day workshop served as a starting point for generating ideas and approaches and students had a more extended timeframe to research, refine, and collaborate with faculty to produce completed works over three months. The exhibition and the workshop was supported by Goethe Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, Chennai. The group show opens on 20th March at 4:30 PM in Kadambari Gallery.
