"Good effort at putting together pieces of textile that not only represent an intangible art form but a history of emotions attached to them. All the more important to us in this given age and time to recycle, reuse these much loved histories."
Homemaker
"The exhibition is a refreshing take on Indian textiles, looking beyond the technique and the beauty, zooming in on the intangible - the memory, the experience, the feel, things we often forget to articulate or even record for progeny. Looking forward to more such textile conversations and exhibits!"

Academician
"Sareekah has done a very difficult assimilation of people, memories and saris - the attire of Indian civilization. IGNCA and IIC have supported an amazing exhibition. It has inspired me to make a documentary."

"India is rich in textile traditions. Every state should have a Museum of Textiles - there is just so much to know, to understand and appreciate. There is enormous wealth too in personal collections of textiles. Since we do not have the public museums we should, this kind of initiative, where exquisite textiles are loaned from personal collections and displayed with appropriate information and following all conservation norms, are invaluable. Congratulations to Sareekah for this textile show. May this be followed by many more exhibitions."
