Explore chintz, Chennai, and climate change through a Kalamkari lens at DakshinaChitra

The walls of DakshinaChitra’s Varija Gallery are vibrant with different iterations of kalamkari, from fabric to graphic design. What emerged as a form of dyeing fabrics in Masulipatnam has been rebirthed by four artists whose work has come together to create the exhibition, Travelling Patterns.

Walking in, the first thing to catch your eye is the giant chintz prints displayed in the centre, the result of a collaborative design by the artists who have displayed at the exhibit.
