MOMOTA DAS-Bangladeshi artisan.
Momota is doing this traditional art practice since she was 7-8 years, growing up in a village named as kaligunj, jessore, Bangladesh she was thrilled to see the needle and thread in almost every household and what inspired her more was her grandmother's journey to this Kantha world. Whenever she got time or gets time till now, she does sewing and it is her only passion.
When asked about the long lost tradition, what's her thought - she replied "nowadays you cannot see such craze in young people about sewing or the interest in kantha but I would love to create a team with young women of our locality to keep the tradition going and would love to see so many new souls joining the tradition, in this way they will be able to earn a bit and be independent."
The traditional folk art of Bengal is famous as Kantha which means 'Patched Cloth', and the special significance of kantha is quilting. Kantha stands as a model for skilled certainty. Because this fantastic embroidered piece is revived by utilising the worn-out textiles, literally rags that would have been normally thrown away.
It is a treasured art of every door where in, the Bengali ladies irrespective of their castes, classes and socio-economic groups, are expertise. The embroidery not only depicts the stitches employed but it also expresses the outflow of their creative, resourceful, imaginary, patient craftsmanship.
