About this event
Artist and author Ekta Kaul introduces Kantha and Kawandi quilts — two stitch traditions shaped by generations of Indian women, turning worn saris and preloved cloth into textiles of lasting beauty. She traces how thrift became storytelling and sustainability long before the word was fashionable. Part of the V&A's free lunchtime series.
