The Registry of Sarees’s Ally Matthan traces the craft’s journey from fashion to contemporary art
Consider the possibilities for a non-alienated life.” The mandate of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, 2018-19 set down by curator Anita Dube was made poignantly relevant by the touching art of Bapi Das. For the uninitiated, in contemporary art, politics or culture, this was a rare experience that immediately struck a chord of empathy and understanding. A struggling driver who shows you through the most intricately detailed compositions, framed through the windscreen of his Kolkata auto-rickshaw, life as it passes him by. Tiny roadmaps that need a looking glass to be examined, shades of grey that mark rain and road, the shadow of a passenger in the rear-view mirror. You are compelled to marvel. These are compositions of exquisite hand and needle work. Embroidery.
