Book excerpt: - This meticulously researched book traces the history of Phulkari through the ages, with over 350 pictures that bring to life the nearly lost craft - It shares instances of revival and innovation, and narrates the robustness with which Phulkari has re-entered the imagination of designers - The book is a source of inspiration for enterprising students of craft, institutions teaching art, craft, culture and history, as also a befitting tribute to a distinct cultural tradition. To a connoisseur of Phulkari embroidery, it is a mystique! Every stitch once placed on the fabric tells a story, a story that comes crafted in emotions taking the form of motifs. Phulkari from Punjab: Embroidery in Transition is the outcome of the authors' quest in search of these stories, their sojourns to the villages and by lanes of Punjab that are home to this form of craft. Meticulously researched, with text and pictures that bring to life the nearly lost craft, the book traces the history of Phulkari through the ages: the craft, the decline, the revival. It highlights the agonies of lost finesse and compulsions of commoditization that the practitioners of the art shared with the authors. And on a positive note, it shares instances of revival and innovation, narrates the robustness with which Phulkari has re-entered the imagination of designers. The book is not a mere chronicle of Phulkari embroidery but a lived experience that spanned over seven years. Stitch craft and its depiction is only one aspect of the narratives; while the canvas inter alia encapsulates rituals that sustain traditions, markets that process the craft, connoisseurs eager to conserve and institutions responsible for its sustenance. The book is a source of inspiration for enterprising students of craft, institutions teaching art, craft, culture and history as also a befitting tribute to a distinct cultural tradition. It offers glimpses of India's heritage and diverse treasure trove in the field of textile craft.

Book excerpt: India has a great tradition of embroidery prevalent in each and every region; each of them different from the other. There are several embroidery styles, which have become popular nationally and internationally and have become synonymous to the region they come from. For example, Kashmir is known for amlikar work on shawls, Himachal Pradesh for Chamba rumal, Uttar Pradesh for chikan work, Gujarat for mochi work and Punjab for phulkari. Each one has its own characteristics and phulkari stands out to be different among all these.Phulkari is a very refined embroidery work of Punjab and Haryana. It has more emotional, social and cultural value which is very rare. Embroidered with silk thread on cotton base, phulkari is a shawl made by the mother for her young daughter or daughter-in-law. Phulkari literally means floral work and is also called Bagh, which literally means a garden. In the olden times, accomplishment of a bride and her mother was judged by the beautiful phulkari and bagh they made. Even the affluence of the families was judged by the number and work of phulkari and bagh they gave to their daughters in their trousseau. They also made ceremonial pieces which were used in marriages, at the time of birth of a child and during festive occasions. Phulkaris are known for their vibrant colours, geometric pattern and gaiety which are an integral part of the life and tradition of the people of Punjab. The present volume catalogues and documents the selected and rare pieces of Phulkari from the archives of Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional Indian textiles are an embodiment of artistic expression, cultural heritage, and centuries-old craftsmanship. They serve as a tapestry of colors, patterns, and techniques that reflect the rich diversity and intricate tapestry of India's cultural landscape. Each textile tells a story, weaving together the threads of history, tradition, and creativity that have shaped the vibrant tapestry of Indian textile traditions. This preface aims to delve into the captivating world of traditional Indian textiles, exploring their significance, beauty, and enduring legacy. It invites readers to embark on a journey through time, unraveling the captivating tales spun by skilled artisans and weavers across the length and breadth of India. India's textile heritage is a treasure trove of techniques and designs that have been nurtured for generations. From the delicate handwoven silk sarees of Varanasi to the intricate block prints of Rajasthan, from the vibrant tie-dye textiles of Gujarat to the ornate embroidery of Lucknow, each region boasts its own distinct textile tradition. These traditions not only bear witness to the artistic prowess of the artisans but also serve as a testament to the deep-rooted connection between textiles and Indian culture. Throughout history, Indian textiles have not only adorned the bodies of its people but have also played a pivotal role in religious rituals, social ceremonies, and daily life. The harmonious blend of colors, the meticulous craftsmanship, and the profound symbolism embedded in the textiles are a testament to the profound reverence for aesthetics and the interplay between tradition and innovation. In recent times, there has been a renewed appreciation for traditional Indian textiles, both within India and on the global stage. Designers, artists, and connoisseurs of textile arts are rediscovering the beauty and cultural significance of these textiles, incorporating them into contemporary fashion, interior design, and artistic creations. This revival not only brings these art forms into the limelight but also ensures the preservation of traditional skills and empowers the communities involved in their creation. Yet, as we celebrate the beauty and legacy of traditional Indian textiles, it is essential to acknowledge the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world. Globalization, modernization, and the relentless pursuit of mass production pose significant threats to the sustainability and preservation of these precious traditions. It is our collective responsibility to protect and promote these invaluable art forms, ensuring that future generations can continue to appreciate the legacy of traditional Indian textiles. This preface sets the stage for an immersive exploration of the world of traditional Indian textiles, delving into their historical significance, cultural context, craftsmanship, and the efforts being made to preserve and promote them. Through this journey, we hope to foster a deep appreciation for the intricacies and beauty of these textiles, inspiring a renewed commitment to their preservation and promotion. Join us on this captivating voyage through the realms of traditional Indian textiles, where heritage meets artistry, and the threads of the past intertwine with the present to create an enduring legacy of beauty, culture, and tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women, Gender and Art in Asia, c. 1500?1900 brings women's engagements with art into a pan-Asian dialogue with essays that examine women as artists, commissioners, collectors, and subjects from India, Southeast Asia, Tibet, China, Korea, and Japan, from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century. The artistic media includes painting, sculpture, architecture, textiles, and photography. The book is broadly concerned with four salient questions: How unusual was it for women to engage directly with art? What factors precluded more women from doing so? In what ways did women's artwork or commissions differ from those of men? And, what were the range of meanings for woman as subject matter? The chapters deal with historic individuals about whom there is considerable biographical information. Beyond locating these uncommon women within their socio-cultural milieux, contributors consider the multiple strands that twined to comprise their complex identities, and how these impacted their works of art. In many cases, the woman's status-as wife, mother, widow, ruler, or concubine (and multiple combinations thereof), as well as her religion and lineage-determined the media, style, and content of her art. Women, Gender and Art in Asia, c. 1500?1900 adds to our understanding of works of art, their meanings, and functions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Threads of globalization is an interdisciplinary volume that brings fashion-specific garments, motifs, materials, and methods of production into dialogue with gender and identity in various cultures throughout Asia during the long twentieth century. It examines how the shift from artisanal production to 'fast fashion' over the past 150 years has devalued women’s textile labour and how skilled textile/ garment makers and the organizations that support them are preserving and reviving heritage traditions. It also offers examples of how socially engaged artists in Asia and the diaspora use their work to criticize labour and environmental abuses in the global fashion industry.

Download or read book Rural Nostalgias and Transnational Dreams written by Nicola Mooney and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-09-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned as the predominant farmers and landlords of Punjab, and long possessed of an autocthonous agricultural identity, Jat Sikhs today often live urban and diasporiclives. Rural Nostalgias and Transnational Dreams examines the formation and meaning of Jat Sikh identity in the contemporary Indian city. Nicola Mooney describes a number of Jat Sikh social practices and narratives through which contemporary notions of identity are developed. She contextualizes these elements of Jat Sikh modernity against local, regional, and national histories of cultural and political differentiation, perceptions of marginality, and the expression of increasingly exclusive notions and practices of identity. This unique ethnography incorporates first-hand observations and local narratives to develop insights into the traditions and social memory of Jat Sikhs, as well as on the issues of urban and transnational social transformation.
