Viraj Khanna participated in Sutr Santati: Celebrating India Through Contemporary Handmade Textiles at the National Gallery of Modern Art, curated by Lavina Baldota.
Presented in Mumbai, the exhibition brought together a range of contemporary practices engaging with textile as both material and method, foregrounding hand processes, regional techniques, and evolving narratives around craft.
Khanna’s hand-embroidered works entered this context through a focus on image-making with thread, aligning with the exhibition’s emphasis on the continued relevance of handmade textiles within contemporary art. Set within a major cultural institution in the city, the exhibition framed textile-based practices within a wider public and institutional discourse.
