Khadi, a traditional heritage textile of India, holds a cherished place in the nation's cultural tapestry. Woven from hand-spun yarn, khadi has been an integral part of Indian history for centuries.
The success of the first edition of the exhibition prompted the curation of the second edition the following year on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti in India.
Mahatma Gandhi saw khadi as a symbol of self-reliance and independence. Gandhi promoted the use of khadi as a means to empower rural communities, reduce poverty, and resist British colonial economic exploitation. This edition explored the aesthetic of Khadi beyond fabric.
