Ganga Maki Textile Studio è il laboratorio creato da Chiaki Maki, autrice della mostra The Alchemy of Weaving, insieme all’architetto Bijoy Jain – Studio Mumbai. Ganga Maki si trova ai piedi dell’Himalaya a pochi chilometri da Rishikesh. Qui vengono prodotti con metodi naturali sia i filati sia le tinture. Chiaki Maki insieme agli artigiani locali crea i suoi preziosi tessuti realizzati a mano con telai in legno tramandati da generazioni.

Chiaki Maki

Chiaki Maki, textile designer, lives and works in both India and Japan. After graduating from the Musashino Art University, she continued her studies at the Rhode Island School of Design. From there, she began her research in several countries where the practice of weaving is part of the local population’s daily life.

After years spent in India producing original hand-woven fabrics, Chiaki, together with Bijoy Jain, founder of Studio Mumbai, created the Ganga Maki textile studio, an extraordinary laboratory high in the foothills of the Himalayas. In this special place, where every built square centimeter was touched by the hand of a man or a woman, she extended her practice to the entire production cycle, allowing her creative streak to flourish. Here, before arriving at the loom, every phase, from the cultivation of fibers and natural pigments to the production of yarns, is carried out with natural procedures, following the rhythm of the seasons, to create colours, yarns and compositions of exceptional uniqueness.
