Selected Artisans
TEXTILE – HANDWOVEN
Handwoven textiles are narratives, woven and decorated by these thoughts and emotions that flow through each yarn, weft and warp, colors and patterns, carefully crafted with sincere love, care and creativity. Here we share the stories of talented crafters of traditional and contemporary textiles.
Every piece of art has a story to tell, and in light of our theme of “Resurgence” this year, we bring together stories of sustainable art practices using eco-friendly materials to create one-of-a-kind objects of art.
Majid Mir
Majid Mir belongs to one of the oldest Pashmina weaving families in Kashmir, India. The matchless tradition of arts & crafts of Kashmir is centuries old and the valley has been famous for its arts & crafts. Kani shawl making, a craft that Majid is actively involved in is one of the important handicrafts of Kashmir. It is one of the toughest forms of weaving and takes months, or even years to complete a shawl or stole.
