Jayasimha Chandrasekhar
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.
Our latest exhibition, Ticket Tika Chaap, explores these textile labels, and their art-historical and commercial significance, as perhaps the earliest forms of branding and advertisement, in India. Join us for an exciting walkthrough of Ticket, Tika, Chaap with artist and printmaker Jayasimha Chandrasekhar where he shares his unique insights as a printmaker. This will be followed by an in-depth presentation on the same.
