Paola SINISTERRA
Grants
To research mud-resist dyeing traditions and its industrial applications, and to refine expertise in natural dye techniques and sustainable textile processes. Sinisterra will visit and document traditional craft communities in India, focusing on mud dyeing techniques on textiles. Through participatory research, interviews, hands-on learning, and teaching, she seeks to understand local knowledge systems rooted in mud dyeing techniques for textiles. Sinisterra hopes that the fellowship will support the preservation of these textile practices and advance her goal of building an inter-Asian network of artisans and practitioners that facilitates knowledge-sharing and will explore applications of these crafts beyond consumer products.
