Photograph by Philippe Calia and Sunil Thakkar. PROJECTS / PROCESSES Curatorial Note Curatorial By Pramod Kumar KG Curatorial Assistant Ankita Chugh Artists Bappaditya Biswas, Rumi Biswas Exhibition Design Vertex Inc. Weftscapes examines a fresh approach to the creation and making of jamdani fabrics, both in its weaving, choice of raw materials, colour, patterns, designs and the end product – a finished garment. Multiple intertwined yet disparate stories coming together in this contemporary initiative. The versatility of the jamdani weaving technique involves the use of a supplementary weft technique. The idea here is to explore the various possibilities of introducing different yarns, materials, and constructions into the weave. The ingenuity of Indian handlooms and the dexterity of its weavers allows for a unique experiment where diverse materials and objects are strung and woven in by hand through the fabric. Bengal’s history is strewn with references to the Indigo trade and its impact on her people. An important aspect of jamdani was the use of the colour indigo which also lent its name to several lengths of fabric with the iconic Nilambari sari becoming popular across the subcontinent. This project has exclusively used the Indigo palette with its non-traditional yarns being dyed in organic Indigo vats; 10 Constructing Traditions namely in a banana vat, dates vat, and the henna vat.
