Unfolding the Saree
Our new zine is based on an ancient Indian garment, the saree which is still popular today. ‘Unfolding the Saree’ is a self-published and explores the Madonna/Whore phenomenon that is unique to the saree-wearing women of India. The outside of the zine is a proportionately miniature saree, replete with ‘pallu’ pattern. Hung on a replica wire hanger, the inside of the zine describes what is found on the inside of the saree - its wearer. As we unfold, we reveal the true nature of this versatile garment, by questioning the notion that the saree is attire for the ‘modest’ woman, tracking its appearances in pop culture, politics and even religion, as a ‘sexy’ garment, as we touch upon various other implications in cultural traditions.
