A close-up of Siona’s work that has been interpreted on scarves


Siona Benjamin, a Fullbright scholar and a Bene-Israel Jew is precisely a similar individual who not only translated never-seen-before facets of Indian Jews but also collated them as vignettes into diversity in India.



Now, you can wear these collages as crepe silk scarves lined with georgette in two variations. Designed carefully from Benjamin’s designs, they are 72 inches long by 22 inches wide. Conceived by Hal Rifken, the producer of a documentary on Benjamin — Blue Like Me: The Art of Siona Benjamin, the scarves are a way to popularise, don and adore a work and a community that is rich in colour.
