Hello,
We would like to introduce ourselves as two design
graduates( industrial and textile from National
Institute of Design , Ahmedabad)doing a museum project
for SEWA- Self Employed Women's Association in
Ahmedabad, India.
The Museum is mainly to serve the textile craft center
located in one of the villages.
Museum will be of old embroidered textile pieces made
by the women of the local communities. They will be
the main users because the museum has to serve to
revive old embroidery practices, so that the improved
work fetches more income for them.
We are interested to know if you know of any such
rural museum in any other part of the world and their
success in it.
Can you suggest interactive sort of activities at the
museum site in order to make the museum beneficial for
the local communities.
We are also keen on knowing about certain factors like
current preservation techniques for textiles.
We will be glad to be suggested of books, websites and
experts regarding the above queries.
Thanking you,
Suranjana Sen, Swasti Singh
