As a leading textile-manufacturing hub, the Indian subcontinent is home to rich traditions of cloth-making. This course dives into processes of textile production and traces their historical trajectories — from the premodern period to the contemporary moment. In each lesson, we take a thematic approach to this vast history and examine the place of textile traditions within broader visual cultures.
