Starr Foundation Hall, UL102 (in the UC/University Center - lower floor)
Sandhya Raman is an internationally known costume designer (for classical and contemporary dance), curator and textile activist visiting New York from New Delhi, India. With a passion for handloom textiles, she is actively involved in legacy textiles revival and facilitating a global presence for artisans. Raman’s costume designs have been path-breaking and reflect her sensitivity towards the kinesthetics of dance. She uses new technology and fine detailing to resolve ergonomic issues related to costuming, which in turn has created a new design language. Her aesthetic and refined eye allows her to treat the body as a canvas, which translates into innovative use of pattern and drape, creating distinct costumes.
Presented by the MFA Textiles program at the Parsons School of Fashion in celebration of New York Textiles Month.
