Muted colours and contemporary designs will make for a delightful display at an exhibition organised by The Australian Consulate-General, Mumbai, in collaboration with ARTISANS’. The second edition of this cross-cultural collaboration between Australia and India is part of the Cultural Textiles programme offered by University of New South Wales (UNSW). A group of Australian designers led by master weaver Liz Williamson have been working with artisans in Gujarat and have come up with innovative ideas in textile design. The current exhibition presents rugs designed by participants in the 2016 course alongside designs by alumni, who have continued to engage with Indian artisan communities including groups such as Sidr Craft, Bhuj; Bengal Crafts and Zardozi Original, West Bengal.
