The Recycled Project
Recycled is a zero-waste project in collaboration with Soach, an NGO in Gujarat and Katna's Kantha, a women's collective in West Bengal, India. It generates sustained work for a group of women in Pindharada (Gujarat) and Katna (West Bengal) and nearby villages while encouraging them to explore their own artistic expression.
The project uses cutting fallouts from our workshop, which the women sew into patchwork textiles, which are quilted using kantha embroidery and made into clothing and quilts. By incorporating these scrap fabrics into new designs, we ensure no part of the labour that has gone into their making is wasted.
