Handloom Scan হ্যান্ডলুম স্ক্যান

This moving image installation weaves together the tactile poetry of the handloom, where artisans from Demra meticulously interlace the third yarn with vertical and horizontal threads, counting and crafting motifs that breathe life into Dhakai Jamdani. As the hands move—counting, contemplating, conversing—the act of weaving becomes a dialogue between tradition and memory, echoing the lost elegance of Dhakai Muslin.

Through this visual narrative, we are invited to reflect on the delicate craftsmanship and cultural heritage that risk fading into history. It is a meditation on the hands that preserve a fading tradition and a visual ode to the intricate dance of threads, reminding us of a bygone era of textile artistry that once adorned the world.
