ShongRokkhon: Reimagined Threads

May 3, 2026 - August 4, 2026

ShongRokkhon: Reimagined Threads presents a series of textile-based artworks that investigate how inherited South Asian textile practices can be reshaped and sustained through displacement. Each work begins with preloved fabrics, often garments worn by elders, that carry embedded histories of care, memory, and intimacy. Onto these surfaces, the artist layers paint, dye, beadwork, stitching, and block stamping. By adapting Bangladeshi methods with improvised tools and limited resources, the work reveals how craft traditions persist even when uprooted from their original cultural and material contexts.
