A 3-day module delving into past and existing clothing practices, specific to the MENA, East Asia and the Indian subcontinent regions. Kallol’s work, which has focussed on forming templates of native wear and garments ascribed to religious doctrines, will be presented during the workshop. It will be a starting point to view how certain garments are seemingly similar in forms but differ greatly when their details are brought into focus; questioning perceptions of gender, religion and economy. The final day will take a look at the fashion industry in India (2010 -2019) and its response to the socio-political occurrences in the region.⁣⁣
