| Indigo narratives 2009-2010 by Shelly jyoti
"Not a chest of indigo reached England without being stained with human blood”, an Englishman in the Bengal Civil Service is said to have commented. In the 19th century, Bengal was the world’s biggest producer of indigo but today, the deep blue color of indigo is synthetically created in a lab and is associated, in the West, with blue jeans more than its torrid colonial past. But indigo holds a sustained presence in the post-colonial identity of India. Employing fair trade embroidery artisans from women’s collectives in India and executing their works in indigo blue, Indian artist SHELLY JYOTI’S new works draw upon India’s history, narratives of immigration and transnational economic interchanges.

2009 |
','Image'))
|
| An Allusion to azrak are apart of Indigo Narratives (2009) series that features the history of India’s colonial past along with references to indigo plant/color/dye
I worked with 9th/10th generation Azrak artisans in Bhuj in the interior of Gujarat ,on khadi fabric with ancient indigo resist printing techniques. My designs, however, are entirely contemporary interpretations of the politics of indigo. The use of azrak printing on khadi utilizes indigo techniques, which are used by khatris ,the immigrants from Sindh and Baluchistan. Through this process I examine the implications of personal, political and cross-cultural choices of these communities who came and settled in coastal Gujarat in 1600CE.
Through my contemporary design motifs and presentation I strive to present the viewer with a heritage so rich and color so historically meaningful, in today’s context of technique and its conservation.
