more-inRema Kumar is coming next week to the city with an exhibition called Textile Tales that will have stoles, dupattas, saris and sari blouses. Kumar describes it as an intense, interactive collaboration between a few chosen Indian contemporary artists and folk artists of Raghurajpur, Odisha. Kumar also collaborated with Chandamani Mohanty, who heads a group of women specialising in the appliqué work in Pipli. Kumar brought that to her collection of Chanderi hand-blocked saris, stoles and dupattas with vibrant motifs of butterflies, birds, girls and village scenes. The Manthan collection inspired from Odisha includes Patachitra stoles, Pipli work embellished textiles and pristine cream Gamcha dupattas.
