Sujni (quilts)
1998
Bihar
Max Allen Via Collection
Canadian Museum of Civilization
These quilts are made of layers of old sari or dhoti fabric stitched
together with coloured threads, usually taken from the edges of the
sari pieces. Revived as a self-help project, they depict daily life
in the region of Bihar. One person does the drawing, then a group of
women fill in the colours. These example represents the artists' view
of women in the outside world, chatting, watching television and
riding motorcycles.
