Khwabida- Weaving of Mubarakpur by FC NIFT Delhi

Описание: Cluster documentary of FC NIFT Delhi on weaving craft of Mubarakpur, UP.
Khwabeeda is not just a result of seven students visiting an eclipsed town called Mubarakpur, but the countless weavers who accepted these students as their own and poured
out their hopes, dreams and most intrinsically, their cra . A craft they believe is an “inaayat” or a faculty presented to them by the Gods, a cra they have nurtured for the last four centuries. ese weavers are quite like the innumerable Jacquard Cards, they use to weave exquisite brocades, that rhythmically move towards the jacquard machine waiting patiently for their turn to be pierced by the needles and give birth to an embossed fabric, divine enough to be donned by the Gods. ese nameless weavers too, go through consequential hardships, for days at end, for the genesis of this very fabric.
is exquisite fabric was originally termed Kim khwaab or woven dreams by the enamoured mughals, pertaining to its surreal beauty or it being Khwabeeda.
Khwabeeda is a humble attempt at acknowledging the dreams, aspirations and needs of these weavers through a thorough study of their cra aimed at providing them with the exposure and identity they deserve. It weaves the story of brocade weaving in a manner similar to how these bunkars weave silken fabrics.
