Nikita Shah: "At home in Brooklyn" - A Kalamkari Story Cloth
Showcase of "At home in Brooklyn - A Kalamkari story cloth" .
Join us for a unique experience celebrating stories of Brooklyn and Kalamkari. After months of Kalamkari workshops held at the Brooklyn Community Pride Centre and GRIOT senior centre, the 30+ participants created a communal Kalmakari story cloth.
Kalamkari is a 3000-year old textile craft practiced currently only in Sri Kalahasti, India. Brooklyn based artist and educator, Nikita Shah has brought together the first ever communal kalamkari story-cloth based on stories from residents in Brooklyn, espically Queer adults and seniors. The showcase is a celebration of the stories, the cloth and most importantly the people!
This event is open to all and is at an ADA accessible space. Light snacks will be served.
