BEND
Changing ideas, thoughts, moods, and identities inform the title of this collection. The lived-in conformities and personal quirks of women, the relationship of the body and the heart, to notions of power and masculine suiting, shape the silhouettes. 11 crafts from 9 states across India are brought together through three primary principles that centre the craft process: revival, creation, and innovation. Craft is not a static art fixed in time, but as a dynamic force that can shift, adapt, and take on new forms. It is an exploration of how inherited techniques, materials, and knowledge can bend into new expressions while retaining their essence.
