Materials of Everyday Life

Materials of Everyday Life an installation, supported by Royal Enfield Social Mission, mapped the everyday materiality of the Himalayas-focusing on materials that quietly shape daily decisions and, in turn, influence environmental and social outcomes. The project explored what we wear, eat, use, and discard, tracing how these materials are sourced, shaped by place, and returned to the land. By examining everyday material practices, the work highlights the deep interdependence between regional ecologies, water systems, cultural continuity, and ways of living adapted to mountain landscapes.

Everyday materiality experience center

Everyday materiality experience center, in collaboration with Socratus, has initiated a Museum of Everyday Materials at Bangalore Creative Circus. The space is actually a reflection of the materials we use and consume every day. It invites visitors to pause, question what has become normalized, and reconnect with everyday materials and choices that shape our health and lives while reminding us to understand what is regional, seasonal, and original to the places we live in.

Cotton 2.0

In collaboration with Futures labs, this book is a response to a growing movement. Farmers are saving native seeds, designers are returning to uneven yarns, institutions are revisiting regional ecologies, and brands are seeking traceable, regenerative supply chains. Yet, this knowledge remains scattered. This book is an attempt to bring it together - a living atlas of India’s indigenous cotton ecosystem.

Weave The Future

Weave The Future is a national platform initiated by the Ministry of Textiles to explore and advance sustainable, circular, and craft-led approaches to everyday living. Conceived in response to growing environmental challenges and shifting consumption patterns, the initiative brings together artisans, designers, brands, and cultural stakeholders to reimagine materials, practices, and systems rooted in regional knowledge and responsible making. Institutionally anchored within the Ministry of Textiles—with the first two editions led by the Development Commissioner Handlooms and the third by the Development Commissioner Handicrafts—Weave The Future functions as both a dialogue and a demonstration for India’s sustainable future. https://weavethefuture.co.in/
