A two-day clothing and accessory exhibition called Parav was hosted by inter-disciplinary artist Sujoy Prosad Chatterjee and actor Debjani Chatterjee at Zoom Tea-o-graphy cafe. Debjani displayed a plethora of saris in a wide range of colours and patterns, while Sujoy displayed a new line of jewellery made of wood and carved with tribal designs by Sharmistha Roychowdhury.

Bishnupur silk, Begampuri and more were on display as part of Oi-shey by Debjani. The highlight was undoubtedly her unisex dhotis, which caused quite a stir among the lady patrons. Wooden jewellery by Sujoy Prosad Fashion Accessories included tribal designs inspired by charcoal and paintings of Rabindranath Tagore. Many people found value in his porcelain triangular vases, thus they quickly sold out.

Sujoy said, “Most of my motifs reflect sustainability, urban displacement, inspiration from Tagorean paintings and even gender politics. I am glad that my accessories can create conversations and that’s what art must.”
