Shelly Jyoti, textile artist: Documentation is an important aspect of textile preservation. Through this show, Mayank has charted a trajectory and raised questions — about the role of a craftsperson, of a designer, where the overlap is and how we should address it — which are key. As a visual artist, I’m always exploring how the urban population can connect with weavers. The piece at the exhibition (ajrak on khadi) is a documentation by itself. It is a timeless silhouette that women have been wearing for generations, the angrakha.
