23 Cranberry Street, Brooklyn, United States
Asia Art Archive in America is thrilled to collaborate with artist Sagarika Sundaram to host a zine making workshop in response to our current exhibition, . In this workshop, participants will create a zine with their personal travel images, while reflecting on Mrinalini Mukherjee’s travel photographs on view in the exhibition and shared in the AAA digital archives.
Travel photographs will be used as the foundation to form new connections and patterns between personal archives and creative practice through annotations and reflections. Together, the participants will each craft a unique physical artifact in the form of an accordion-style zine — serving as both a diary and a time capsule that explore influences of travel on artistic endeavors.
Materials to bring:Please bring a minimum of 8 photos from your travels that have sparked artistic or creative inspiration. Each page of the zine will be half a letter sized sheet of paper. Please size your images accordingly. If you need printing support, please email your images to by July 8th.
Participant bios:
Sagarika Sundaram is an artist working with raw natural fibers and dyes to create sculptural textile works. Her practice spans monumental installations to intimate and layered forms that rest gently against surfaces. In her process, folds of handmade wool-felt are cut open like skin, revealing hidden forms. This gesture enacts a sense of release, material and bodily, which lies at the heart of her approach to art-making and becomes a way to uncover form, shaping the work from what lies beneath.
Sundaram was born in Kolkata in 1986 into a Tamil family and spent much of her childhood in Dubai. In 2020, she graduated with an MFA in Textiles from Parsons/The New School in New York. Sundaram’s works have been exhibited at the Bronx Museum of the Art, NY; Al Held Foundation with River Valley Arts Collective, Boiceville NY; the Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University, Houston, TX; British Textile Biennial, Liverpool, UK; the Chicago Architecture Biennial, Salon 94, New York and Nature Morte, Delhi. In October 2025, she will present a solo exhibition at Alison Jacques gallery in London. Sundaram lives and works in New York City.
Light refreshments will be provided.
