In Shabnam, the fragmented history of the fabrication of muslin and its scattered documentation across archives all over the world is stitched back together in a piece that is as stunning as it is confrontational. The result is a patchwork of uneasy encounters, hidden narratives and archival images, in which the discomfort of inequality is made tangible to the viewer.
