Indore installation for Karkhana Chronicles II.
NEW DELHI
.-Karkhana Chronicles II has launched online with a series of installations which bring together craft patronage and contemporary design. The digital exhibition opens a conversation around Indias textile heritage, looking back to tradition to find design solutions of the future.
Supported by The ReFashion Hub - a sustainability-focused initiative with a special emphasis on water stewardship - the project has worked with the royal families of Indore, Kathiwada, Bhavnagar and Mysore to open a conversation on the revival of traditional knowledge and practices in the Indian fashion industry. The project draws its inspiration from the artisanal workshop or karkhana whilst advocating for fashion that is kinder to the climate, natural resources, and the people engaged within this sector.
