Ima Keithel: Northeast India’s Mothers Weave Peace in Delhi

Based on the Ima or Mother’s Market in Manipur where Manipuri women congregate to sell their products, this exhibition aims to take the beautiful arts and crafts of Manipur to a larger audience and in the long run bring peace in the Northeast. Weavers and bamboo crafts women will demonstrate and display products such as Enaphi (a type of shawl woven in cotton or silk); phanek (fabric wrapped around the waist like a skirt); leiroom (handwoven scarf); and a variety of bamboo products
