Reviving Heirloom Textiles for a New Age: In Conversation with Sanjay Garg

Join Sanjay Garg (Raw Mango Founder) in conversation with Megha Kapoor (INPRINT Magazine, Vogue India), for an evening exploring the past and the future of Indian textiles, followed by drinks in the AM’s Westpac Long Gallery.

Raw Mango, founded by Sanjay Garg in 2008, is a design house with a practice grounded in textile research, historical inquiry and living craft traditions.

Working collaboratively with karigar (master craftspeople) across India to research and revitalise regional weaving and dyeing techniques, the studio also interrogates heirloom pieces and museum collections to create contemporary textiles that innovate upon skills refined over centuries.

Approaching textiles as archives within a continuously evolving cultural ecology, this talk will situate Raw Mango’s work within broader questions of material culture: how old technologies endure, adapt, and generate new aesthetic vocabularies.
