Graduate student Namrata Ghosh’s article, Textiles and Memories, appears in the book, Textiles from Bengal: A Shared Legacy (2024), published in conjunction with an ongoing exhibition of the same name in Kolkata, India. As the former Research Associate for the exhibition, Ghosh studied several textile collections and conducted extensive research that supported the curatorial vision of the project. Her article explores how textiles act as repositories of the socio-cultural memory for the Bengali community living under British colonialism during the 19th and 20th century.
