STITCH BY STITCH

Stitch by Stitch presents a documentary exploration of Kaudhi, centered around the experiences of one individual's extended family, neighbors, and friends, emblematic of their social ecosystem. This collaborative effort, facilitated by a quintet from Bengaluru, has yielded a collection of Kaudhis, stories, photographs, and experiences, deepening our understanding of this rich tradition.

​

Through our documentary work, we delve into the intricate world of Kaudhi, shedding light on its cultural significance and the stories embedded within each quilt. Our first edition exhibition showcased portraits by Selvaparkash Lakshmanan, prose by Vasudendra, original Kaudhis, photographs, and a wall mural directed by JLX Studio, curated by Muthatha Ramanathan. This inaugural event, held in December 2022 in Mattancherry, Fort Kochi, marked the beginning of our journey into the heart of Kaudhi within this particular social ecosystem.
