Lived-in Skin: Textile as Armour as Memory – Exhibition on Cloth, Memory, and Material Histories

Delhi’s contemporary art circuit welcomes Lived-in Skin: Textile as Armour as Memory, a group exhibition that brings together the works of artists Sabeen Omar, Meenakshi Nihalani, and Anshu Singh. Hosted at LATITUDE 28 in Defence Colony, the exhibition reflects on how textiles hold memory, labour, inheritance, migration, and emotional histories within their surfaces.

Through practices rooted in weaving, stitching, layering, and material accumulation, the exhibition examines cloth not merely as fabric, but as witness, archive, and emotional residue. The featured works explore how garments and woven forms carry traces of displacement, survival, repair, and intergenerational knowledge, creating deeply personal yet politically resonant narratives.

Each artist approaches textile differently, yet their practices intersect through themes of familiarity and estrangement, preservation and fragility, memory and transformation. The exhibition foregrounds the emotional and cultural weight embedded within material surfaces, inviting viewers to reflect on the intimate relationship between fabric, body, and lived experience.

For audiences interested in textile-based contemporary art, material storytelling, and experimental artistic practices, Lived-in Skin offers a thoughtful and layered gallery experience in the heart of Delhi.
