A group exhibition in Delhi brings together artists Sabeen Omar, Meenakshi Nihalani, and Anshu Singh, whose works explore textiles as vessels of emotion, memory, and cultural inheritance. Omar uses discarded fabrics and architectural forms to examine preservation and transformation, Nihalani employs weaves and appliqué to reference Partition-era knowledge and recipes, and Singh works with textile scraps to address labor, endurance, and survival.
This exhibition matters because it reframes textiles—often dismissed as craft or domestic material—as powerful repositories of migration, displacement, and political history. By centering the tactile and the personal, the show challenges hierarchies in the art world and affirms textile art as a critical medium for storytelling and cultural critique.
