Featuring research from Dr. Mohan’s 2024–25 field study, this exhibition at the Textile Arts Center explores the history and culture of Indian ikat. The collection encourages viewers to consider the various forces—from aesthetics to livelihood—that shape the tradition’s contemporary repertoire and the reimagined meanings of these textiles today.

The visual identity is rooted in the structural and tactile qualities of the exhibition’s textiles—interlacing typography mimicking thread, diamond motifs reflecting geometric patterns, and undulating animations evoking the shifting light of hand-woven warps.
