The Panchamahabhuta quilt on display in the Beyond Borders exhibition relates to a community-based organisation - Thotpot - in Mumbai, India who have revived the traditional quilt-making art known as Godhri or Godhari. As an ethical organisation, working with women from the Siddi community, Thotpot aims to revive and retain the heritage arts of India. Thotpot has been involved with public arts projects such as Wrapping the Runway over the last six years. Thanks to the team at Thotpot, we are able to see a short film of their invaluable work; courtesy of Tapan Mittal-Deshpande and Abhinit Khanna.
