About Mayuri Chari

Mayuri Chari re appropriated the Portuguese practice of trousseau stitching, adopted by her family in Goa during colonisation, as a vocabulary of feminist dissent. The artist stitches conversations she has with her own body onto cloth, recording its presence in contemporary space and time. She is influenced by the statement, ‘A woman is not born, she is created.’ It's her observation that women are treated in society either as goddesses or as objects of consumption. Through her work, she argues that women should be treated equally as individuals. Values/ manners are an important set of ideas for both the sexes but an extra set of them is designed especially for women so that she could be judged and questioned at every step. She uses self-written poems and statements on cloth, watercolour drawings as well as objects or mediums from women's lives as a medium in her artwork. Pillows, cow dung, curtains, threads etc become mediums to depict women's daily life. Female representation and a definite leadership are observed and expressed through her work.
