Knots that Bind brings The Red Dress project by Kirstie Macleod in conversation with a selection of artworks from the Sangita Jindal Collection. The Red Dress project began in 2009 as a platform to build solidarity, predominantly among women in different parts of the world. The imprints on the dress include the expressions of 380 embroiderers from 51countries, including female refugees, asylum seekers, survivors of war, and other globally marginalised groups.

Echoing the premise of The Red Dress project, the exhibition Knots that Bind presents an intergenerational dialogue on community and materiality as mediums for our shared futures.

The artists and collectives in this exhibition, such as B. Prabha, Gogi Saroj Pal, Himmat Shah, Chanakya School of Craft, and Shrujan, reflect on the power of art and creative imagination to embody and relay civilisational ethos and conflicts. 

From a formal study of roots and branches to mobilising the inherent meanings in materials, from knots simulating the atoms to painting women for solidarity, these artworks address our transitory relationship between nature, culture, and coexistence. Together, they speak of a social fabric connected in more ways than we imagine.
