As the year draws to a close, fairs and exhibitions pop up across the city. The most recent exhibition to return to Mumbai is Dastkari Haat, a saree and textile exhibition at the Nehru Centre in Worli that features a vast collection of handloom weaves from 20 states in India. “The exhibition started in 2011, and since then, we have provided a platform for weavers to showcase their products without any middlemen. Most of the items in the exhibition are hand-loomed, and you’ll find stalls where people have been carrying on with this profession for generations,” Sameen Shah, exhibition manager, tells us. From hand-crafted, embroidered sarees to woollen stoles and printed clothing material, the exhibition houses some of the most unique fabrics from all over the country.
