The 2001 earthquake in Kutch shattered the district. What followed was a reconstruction effort that laid the foundation of the “Gujarat Model” of development.
There is a dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity in Indian art. More and more contemporary artists are engaging with and reinterpreting historical motifs and techniques. In this light there is an urgent need for a critical examination of colonial legacies in the representation and valuation of Indian fashion and craft, urging for a decolonized perspective that recognizes indigenous narratives and knowledge systems.
The JoB box is a testament to our commitment to bringing balanced, nuanced and impartial news, from where the story unfolds. While Object identifies itself as a fashion magazine, we use fashion as a discipline to better understand the society we live in. Our first issue is centred around tribes and their clothing, exploring notions of home and identity. In the subsequent issue, we dive deep into the secular legacy of cloth and follow the journey of silk along the famed silk route.
Our maiden issue: high gloss, high fashion and dare we say, highbrow. Object is available for sale at select bookstores around the world and in our online shop. Limited prints on paper glossier than your glossiest lipgloss, we we hope it rests safely on your coffee table as India’s first coffee table magazine. To preorder your copy, subscribe to the box and make sure you get yours first!
