A panel discussion and textile exhibition, titled Safed, was recently held at Indira Gandhi National Centre of the Arts.

The Panel discussion was moderated by Sayali Goyal, who brought together Purnima Rai of The Delhi Crafts Council of India, Ritu Sethi of the Crafts Revival Trust and Bindu Manchanda of Intach.

Together they explored the importance of crafts documentation, designer intervention in crafts, sustainability as well as craft representation in the west. “Sustainability isn’t limited to environment.

Crafts belong to community, hence we need to be conscious of cultural and economic sustainability. By projects like these, the urban society can be aware of the crafts people, thus make conscious choices,” said Sayali.
