dc.description.abstract |
As a contemporary mode of subversion, the art of needlework has been revived from the
category of the merely “aesthetic” to the expansive category of the “powerful.” Freestyle hand
embroidery enables the socially disabled women of South Asia and other regions of the world to
vent their trauma within the walls of their households. The select set of embroideries displayed
here is expressionistic in art-style, presenting three micro-stories on bride burning, female
foeticide, and Eve-teasing, as part of my personal project named “Embroidery Stories.” |
