Exhibition of ‘Thread Stories’ – Collection of interconnected experiences by Alka Rode
Pune, 9th December, 2024: ‘Thread Stories’, a collection of interconnected experiences presented by artist Alka Rode, will take place from 18th to 22nd December 2024 at Raja Ravi Varma Art Gallery on Ghole Road. The exhibition is organized by IGA Galleria. Entry to the exhibition is free and open to all from 11:00 AM to 6:30 PM.

‘Thread Stories’ can be interpreted as a collection of interconnected experiences, much like threads woven together to form a cohesive tapestry. Each ‘thread’ represents a different story or perspective, and together they create a rich, multifaceted narrative. This concept emphasizes the idea that individual stories, when combined, can provide a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of a theme or subject.
The ‘Thread Stories’ exhibition will also provide a firsthand experience of working with the artist. Alka Rode will be available from 18th-20th December from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the gallery for interaction. Additionally, there will be a special session with artists who also work with fabric on 21st December from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, in which Artist Manasa Dhulipalla and Artist Aparajita Mahajan along with Artist Alka Rode will be in conversation with Sculptor and Art Consultant Indranil Garai.
