We are excited to introduce you to a series of Nokshi Kotha Workshops delivered by artist Sahana Rahman. This project revives the fading Bengali tradition of "nokshi katha," or embroidered quilts, where groups of Bengali women would gather to stitch their daily narratives onto a shared cloth.

In these workshops, participants are invited to contribute their own stories to a collaborative fabric mural, inspired by a personal object they bring with them. Each session includes a presentation on the history of nokshi katha, insights into Sahana’s personal practice, and a guide to embroidery techniques.

The goal is to breathe new life into this beautiful tradition, encourage meaningful dialogue, and promote healing and joy through the power of shared creative expression.

Come join us for an intimate session on the 4th of October or, 13th October where you can drop-in, embroider onto the mural and leave whenever you want!

We're excited to bring this project to new audiences across East Auckland, no embroidery experience is needed!

Friday 4 October, Botany Library 1pm - 4pm
Sunday 13 October, Botany Library 10:30am - 3:30pm (drop-in session)

Location : Showcase Room, Botany Library, Auckland
