    I’m Meghana, an undergraduate in Textile Technology.

    My core interests lie in technical and sustainable textiles, and I’m always eager to explore the intersection of traditional practices and modern innovations. That’s what drew me to this course, to understand the deep history, culture, and context behind Indian textiles, beyond just their surface beauty.

    I’m excited to be part of this community and to learn from all of you and the incredible speakers throughout this journey. Looking forward to some enriching discussions! 😊

    Hello everyone,

    I’m Akshita Kashyap, a psychology student with a growing interest in Indian textiles and design. Although I don’t come from a design background, I’ve always been fascinated by the cultural richness and storytelling woven into traditional Indian fabrics—from regional weaves to intricate embroidery styles.

    I’m here purely as a learner, eager to understand more about the history, techniques, and contemporary relevance of Indian textiles. I’m especially curious about how textiles reflect identity, emotion, and cultural memory—something I’d also love to explore through a psychological lens.

    Excited to learn from all of you and be part of these inspiring conversations!

    Hello to all! I am Una. I’m a transdisciplinary artist, and my work moves across visual art, design, and photography. I’m also passionate about sharing knowledge, so I often work in informal education in those same areas. I am originally from Croatia, but I’m currently living in Slovenia.

    One of my big loves is fashion and textiles, especially when they’re made in sustainable and thoughtful ways. Last year, I had the chance to visit India for the first time, and I completely fell in love it, including with the incredible traditional crafts and techniques that enchanted me.

    I’m here because I want to dive deeper into these living traditions, learn from them, and better understand the stories and skills behind the craft. I’m really excited to be part of this space with all of you.

    🥰

    Hi, I’m Carmen Artigas. I studied fashion design in Milan, and one of my early highlights was curating a shoe museum in Mexico City in the early ’90s. In 1999, I took a sabbatical in India to study natural dyeing and collaborated with SEWA to help preserve endangered textiles in Kutch. In 2010, I introduced the first Ethical Fashion courses in New York at FIT, Parsons, and Pratt. More recently, in 2021, I collaborated with indigo farmers in Oaxaca, who are now facing serious challenges due to climate change. @<b tabindex=”-1″>carmen.artigas
