The Sari
A trip to India in 2007 created for me a fascination for the sari… truly
one of if not the world's simplest constructed garment. The book The
Sari by Mukulika Banerjee and Daniel Miller speaks of this 5 meter
long rectangle piece of cloth traditionally hand-woven and they weave
a fascinating story of this garment, it beauty, adaptability and personality.
Along the way some of the profound complexities of India which finds itself
moving rapidly into the modern world is revealed.
Through slides and lecture, this talk tries to capture how the sari is
anything but just an object of clothing or a piece of cloth.
