More Stories in Cloth, the Journey Continues

Last year Shira Singer spent 5 months in India as a Fulbright-Nehru Scholar,
learning about India’s ancient textile traditions of natural dyeing and how they
are evolving in response to environmental and societal changes. Her husband,
David Manski, accompanied her and documented the practices of traditional
artists through photography and videography. This presentation is a follow up
to their Fall talk at the SWH Library and will focus on additional artists, heritage
crafts and aspects of everyday life in India.
