studio samayam
‘the story of privilege’
1. studio samayam - ‘the story of privilege’
In traditional Ikkat handloom weaving, the shuttle carries the weft yarn across the warp, slowly binding single threads into cloth. This single unit of the weft and warp evolved into the shuttle lamp by studio samayam which embodies the story of the weavers village in Bhoodan Pochampally - a town born out of the 1951 Land Gift (Bhoodan) movement in post-colonial India. 'the story of privilege' by studio samayam narrates this extraordinary history of land, labour and shared hope through the commonplace and indispensable tool of handloom : the shuttle.
