Shrey Maurya & Pallavi Nopany
From dancing elephants and beloved deities to the surprising sight of steamships, textile labels showcased a variety of captivating imagery.
Textile labels arrived in Indian markets in the thousands, stuck on yards upon yards of cotton fabric manufactured in the mills of Britain (and India), and sold in Indian and global markets. They wove desire, memory, and meaning into the act of purchase.
Join us for a conversation with Shrey Maurya, curator of Ticket Tika Chaap, an exhibition that explores the art-historical and commercial significance of textile labels, known as tikats (tickets), tikas, or chaaps, as perhaps the earliest forms of branding and advertisement in India. Shrey will be in conversation with Pallavi Nopany, the Creative Director at Creative Boutique.
This event includes a guided walk of the exhibition.
This event is in collaboration with The Advertising Club.
