Exposition de chintz, peints à la main et bien conservés, qui conquirent l’Europe du XVIe siècle. Le visiteur voyage d’Inde à l’Indonésie et le Japon. Il découvre comment le chintz joua un rôle important dans les échanges commerciaux au XVIIe siècle.
In addition, the exhibition shows that chintz still inspires new initiatives in the field of handicrafts. Chintz is traditional, labour-intensive handiwork. The cotton is hand painted with natural dyes and the designs are very detailed. The creative process is fascinating, complex and time consuming. Textile designer Renuka Reddy from Bangalore conducted a series of tests that show the different production stages.
