For the month of July 2021, we had an engaging interaction with Ms. Sabita Radhakrishna, author of ‘The Looms of Arivoor’. The meeting was facilitated by Ms. Kalpana Vummidi.
Ms. Sabita, a textile revivalist, research scholar & designer had worked closely with weavers community of Tamil Nadu. Her book, The Looms of Arivoor, brilliantly captures the plights & struggles faced by these traditional weavers, in a story form. The discussion in this meeting ranged from her inspiration, characters, situation & suggestions.
