Please join us Nov. 13 for a keynote session led by Dr. Vandana Bhandari (@vandana_bhandari)—“Artisanal Voices: Sustaining Hand Embroidery Legacy of India,” an exciting part of TSA’s online 2024 Symposium, Shifts and Strands! Link to register in bio.

Handmade craftsmanship has been deeply rooted in India’s cultural heritage, tracing back to the ancient Indus Valley civilization over 5000 years ago. Among these traditions, embroidery stands out as a vibrant expression of artistic skill and cultural identity. With diverse techniques, styles, and symbolic meanings, embroidery has woven itself into the fabric of Indian society, enriching both attire and household items.

Participating artisans specializing in Chikankari, Phulkari, and other embroidery will provide firsthand perspectives, showcasing their heritage pieces and exemplary skill sets. Beyond mere technique, they will illuminate the cultural and familial significance embedded in their creations, reflecting on their identities, heritage, and material culture.
