Sun, Fire, River: Ajrak Cloth from the Soil of Sindh

A carefully crafted video of traditional textile making in Sindh with exquisite music from the Sufi shrine of Shah Abdul Latif. The production of ajraks, used as shawls, turbans, hammocks, baby slings, table cloths, is a multi-phased process with repeated soakings, dryings, dying and block printing. This complex procedure is seen as a metaphor for Sufism: the search for perfection.
