Threaded Heritage: Symbolism, Ritual and Memory in North East Textiles
Curated by Sentila T. Yanger
 

The exhibition explores how textiles function as a visual language expressing cultural iconography, identity, and belonging. Patterns, motifs, and colours convey narratives of cosmology, kinship, and land. Through ceremonial and sacred cloths, textiles also mark life’s transitions, becoming living archives of memory and cultural continuity.

The exhibition will be accompanied by live-demonstrations by weavers from the Northeast at the gallery.

The exhibition will be inaugurated on Tuesday, 2 April 2026 at 18:00 hrs by Shri Chanchal Kumar, Secretary to Government of India, Ministry of Development of the North Eastern Region (DoNER)
