A curated exhibition celebrating India's heritage weaves, traditional art and craftsmanship, Pink Gulabb, The Heritage Edit, is being held in Hyderabad for the first time. The two-day showcase at CCT Space in Banjara Hills runs from August 21 to 22.
Actor and social entrepreneur Amala Akkineni inaugurated the event. She praised the initiative for bringing India's diverse craft traditions and master artisans to a contemporary audience. 'Preserving our heritage is not only about protecting the past, but also about ensuring that these incredible skills and livelihoods continue into the future,' she said.
Founder and curator Mohua Chatterjee said Pink Gulabb was born from her desire to create a bridge between India's craft heritage and the contemporary woman. 'Every weave, every stitch and every handmade piece carries the imprint of the person and tradition behind it,' she said.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Hyderabad's growing appetite for heritage crafts mirrors a national trend: urban consumers increasingly seek handmade, story-driven products over mass-produced alternatives. India's handloom sector supports over 4.3 crore weavers and artisans, yet many struggle with low wages and middlemen. Exhibitions like Pink Gulabb offer direct market access and brand visibility, helping preserve dying skills. Amala Akkineni's involvement adds credibility: her environmental and social work draws crowds. The key test is whether this translates into sustained livelihoods for the artisans long after the two-day event ends. Watch for how many pieces are sold and if the curator plans a repeat edition.
