In addition to stunning examples from the Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz Collection, this exhibition features traditional phulkaris from the Museum’s collection and high- fashion ensembles by one of India’s leading designers, Manish Malhotra. Deeply rooted in Punjabi life before the 1. Partition of India and Pakistan (which split the Punjab region), this tradition has become a powerful symbol of Punjabi cultural identity. Women of many religious groups—Muslims, Hindus, Christians, and Sikhs (who consider the Punjab their holy land)—stitched phulkaris, with young girls learning needlework from older female relatives and friends. They often created the embroideries for their dowry, which they brought to their new homes when they married. Whether figural or geometric, all are rich in symbolism: after the 1. Partition, phulkari textiles became an important symbol for the new nation of Pakistan. As an emblem of pre- Partition village life, phulkaris have been celebrated in popular music and videos. More recently, this folk tradition has entered the realm of high fashion through designers such as Manish Malhotra, who recently created a phulkari- based couture collection.
