Thank you @_mumbaimirror for this article covering #tarpaulintapestries - a collaboration with @i_was_a_sari & their women artisans. We are very grateful for the press and it was an excellent opportunity to discuss the nitty gritty socio-political implications of cross cultural exchanges. Swipe left to see part of the team in smiles 😁😁😁 in front of our wacky mural. . . . . . #womenartists #selfie #aubreyroemer #iwasasari #mumbai #india #sari #saris #press #collaboration #textileart #textile #socialpractice #prattmfa #prattfinearts #contemporaryart (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsYw6CbhSVk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f07zgvd5lh11

Last day in Mumbai was spent creating a mural in the workshop/embroidery space of Animedh Charitable Trust with the women artisans of @i_was_a_sari ✨ We had destroyed the walls by accident drawing and taping fabric to them, so I offered to collaborate on a mural. It was based off of #cuevadelasmanos (my favorite) meets a forest. The women turned the hands into beautiful examples of #mehndi ✋🏽✋🏼✋🏾 and we called it हाथों का जंगल - haathon ka jungle - forest of hands. There aren’t words to describe the beauty of women ranging from teens to grandmothers of all major religions and backgrounds working together in ✌🏽peace✌🏻 to create art. It was magic. Then we took a bunch of silly selfies and photos. Looking forward to working with the team for the next phase of this project!! . . . . . . . . #art #aubreyroemer #iwasasari #mumbai #india #bombay #prattmfa #mural #hands #hamsa #painting #prattfinearts #womenempowerment #womenartists #selfie #silly #forest #love (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJXFrJhdkw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=125z9rhb55zfw

All the little details from the last workshop with the women artisans of @i_was_a_sari - it was incredible. We painted with threads stitching all kind of prints, paintings, and cutouts of up cycled saris into tarpaulin. The end result is truly beautiful and you can see the tiniest of the tarps on display today @piramalmuseum Kurla gallery from 5-8PM & there will be one final workshop before installation at Dharavi tomorrow with @artoxygen @realityindia !!! Come join us and see what hundreds of creative hands across continents and cultures can do. 💙🌈💙 . . . . . . #aubreyroemer #iwasasari #piramal #artoxygen #india #socialpractice #socialproject #upcycle #sari #womenempowerment #thefutureisfemale #women #community #creative #embroidery #embroideryart #sewing #printmaking #painting #tarpaulintapestries #mumbai #prattmfa #cope_nyc (at Mumbai Jogeshwari West) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brg3mCigoks/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wasoi5mckkad
