SUMMARY:India & the World: Stories of Trade and Textiles
DESCRIPTION:Patola\, Early 19th century\, Gujarat\, India\; for the Indones
 ian market\, Silk\, L. 432 cm\, W. 134 cm. TXT.00879\n\nJoin Priya Lewis\,
  Archivist from the MAP team\, for an opportunity to look closely at selec
 t textiles from the museum’s collection and learn more about the global 
 histories they carry within their folds. Focusing on trade textiles in MAP
 ’s collection\, this session will explore colonialism's impact on the tr
 ade of textiles\, as well as the political\, economic and cultural aspects
  that shaped this story.\n\nThroughout history\, textiles have been more t
 han mere fabrics\; they are expressions of identity\, status\, and cultura
 l heritage. In the subcontinent in particular\, there has been a rich hist
 ory of varied textile traditions evolving over time and across regions tha
 t serve as material traces of the past – the socio-political\, the techn
 ological\, and the personal.\n\nBy examining textiles from the collection 
 specially pulled out for display\, this session will provide an opportunit
 y to not only appreciate the aesthetic qualities of these pieces\, but als
 o gain insights into the larger economic\, and historical narratives that 
 they encapsulate.\n\nMAP is custodian to a growing collection of over 60\,
 000 works of art\, predominantly from South Asia and dating from the 10th 
 century to the present. The diverse collection features modern and contemp
 orary art\, photography\, popular culture\, pre-modern art\, living tradit
 ions and textile\, craft and design. In addition to browsing the collectio
 n online\, we invite you to experience various collections up close at MAP
  through drop in sessions like these.
