short description
This group has worked upon textiles for time immemorial in Arunachal Pradesh and deemed it an integral part of their culture and heritage. Among the exquisite handloom textiles is silk-the dominant shade here being red, with woven decorative border stripes and an end design in delicate geometric patterns. This one-off piece of functional artistry serves the Adi interiors' purpose and, in truth, is a celebration of Adi craft.
Tablecloths were traditionally woven by the Adi women using handlooms according to custom. The patterns embedded with geometry are of cultural significance to the tribe. Red is said to mean prosperity, energy, and protection, while the border designs convey messages about the tribe having interests in nature and being steeped into tradition. The techniques related to the production were handed down through the generations, further asserting the distinct textile identity of the tribe.
The Adi tablecloth is a witness to community gatherings and festivities of the Adi people, and this gives credence to their love for handmade textiles. Yet, while modernity sweeps in, the Adi tribes pursue their weaving traditions while striving to market their crafts at regional and national levels.
