The Paramparik Indian Textile, Art and Crafts Exhibition, that aims at sculpting a significant platform for Indian craftsmen, is back for its second edition featuring traditional works by 30 artisans
“This time, we have invited 30 craftsmen, who have never showcased their work with us before. Some of the craft is also completely new. We attempt to give more people a chance to display their work in Mumbai,” says Anu Choudhary-Sorabjee of Paramparik Karigar, an association of craftsmen.

So, the aim is to bring these people from remote villages across India to the city, to highlight their work. They don’t get an opportunity to exhibit here on their own steam. Naturally, it’s a great chance to get in touch with the buyer in the city, and sell their work,” she adds.u00a0The four-day exhibition will feature 15 craftsmen who will showcase textile collections while the remaining 15 will bring their varied arts and crafts products to the fore.
