Artists Ramji and Mohammed Haroon showcase Banarasi weaving at NMACC

Mumbai: Mrs Nita Ambani, Founder & Chairperson Reliance Foundation, has been very closely involved through the years in promoting Indian art and culture. Artists Shri Ramji and Shri Mohammed Haroon showcased Banarasi weaving at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai.

At the Swadesh exhibition, artists who are preserving India’s valuable culture and heritage are able to connect directly with visitors, who in turn witness a sublime experience observing the artists live in action. Recently, Mrs Ambani met Swadesh artists, including Shri Ramji and Shri Mohammed Haroon, deeply appreciating their talent and service to arts.

Reliance Foundation’s SWADESH exhibition is an experience zone offering visitors a unique journey of watching and interacting with skilled expert artisans from famed traditional art forms such as Pichwai, Tanjore, Pattachitra, weaves from Patola, Venkatgiri, Benaras, Paithan and Kashmir and Blue Pottery from Jaipur among others. Craftspersons at work – on traditional looms making carpets and saris, using vegetable inks and needles to create paintings – while interacting with audience, have created a unique and much-appreciated experience for visitors to the Centre. This has elevated the pristine appeal of the craft to a performing arts experience.

Ever since the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre opened to the world, visitors have been appreciating many aspects about the Centre and its offerings. The SWADESH experience zone recreated the traditional artists’ space with beautifully designed stalls for the Cultural Centre audience to not only watch the skilled artisans at work but also buy their works.
