Join us for an engaging and insightful floor talk and demonstration as Rekha Shailaj explores the rich cultural history and personal stories behind the Indian sari. The Six Yards Sisterhood exhibition at Tūhura Otago Museum offers a stunning collection of saris and bodice designs, textiles, and stories that celebrate the power of the sari as a symbol of cultural heritage and creative innovation.

In this talk, Rekha will delve into the craftsmanship of these vibrant garments, uncovering the personal, cultural, and historical significance of each piece. From the intricate designs to the powerful traditions they represent, the sari remains an enduring symbol of beauty and strength.
Whether you're familiar with the sari or discovering it for the first time, this floor talk offers a unique opportunity to connect with the exhibition in a deeper way. Experience the rich tapestry of stories, relationships, and heritage that continue to unite women across generations and cultures and learn the intricacies of sari draping with a demonstration from Rekha in the exhibition space.
