Shamiana

Description:

"This evocative book provides a permanent record of the ground-breaking Mughal Tent Project which united groups of Asian women and children in the creation of a unique collection of textile panels. The exhibition, Shamiana: The Mughal Tent, brought the work together in "the tent that covered the world" at the V&A in the summer of 199, followed by a three-year international tour. The book celebrates this remarkable achievement and is a colorful record of a highly innovative arts education project which has become a model for institutions around the world."--Back cover.
