Textiles & Clothing Research Centre (TCRC), New Delhi
organized the Seminar
in collaboration with Government Museum & Art Gallery,
Chandigarh on 6th August 2022 under the ‘Amrat Mahotsava’ programme.
The theme for
this seminar was ‘Textiles of Punjab’
It was an endeavour to reflect light upon a variety of Punjab textiles; weaving, dyeing, embroidery, conservation, iconography, design and various other cross-cultural influences in the region. The seminar was intended to bring people from academia, young researchers, educators and students working in the different areas of textiles together for mutual exchange of ideas and presentation of their latest findings. The Punjab, north-western state of India, boundaries have changed from time to time; also, migration of tribes and cross-cultural influences were evident in their art forms. The region has contributed significantly to Indian textile traditions, like spectacular embroidery, weaving, dyeing and printing works besides significant influence in fashion too. Some of the famous ones are; richly embroidered phulkari, costumes, utilitarian textiles, cotton, khaddar, malkha, khes weaving, woollen jamawar shawls, panja durries, parandi, nada (braids for hair and costumes), along with variety of costumes of different communities. The aim of seminar was to study variety of Punjab textiles, unheard textile traditions, processes, sustainable practices, conservation or related findings.
That is the proper weblog for anyone who desires to seek out out about this topic. You notice a lot its nearly laborious to argue with you (not that I truly would need…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply great!
