Roopantara: Matter in Metamorphosis

Edition II. The second exhibition from House of Santal brings designers from across the South Asian subcontinent to New York. The title joins the Sanskrit rūpa (form) and antara (change, transformation): the collection invites a re-authoring of craft, materiality, and technique — craft as an evolving metamorphosis rather than a fixed legacy.

Works explore the deconstruction and reinterpretation of period styles, traditional South Asian craft, tectonics, and materiality.
