Join us in-person at SFSNAD for a Members Only Artist Reception featuring Asif Shaikh as he talks about his exhibition &#x27;resurgence&#x27; in the Hanging Thread Gallery. About this Event: Asif Shaikh is one of India&#x27;s most accomplished and acclaimed embroidery and textile artists and experts. This exhibition will highlight the revival of India&#x27;s textile heritage with a special focus on hand embroidery. Though many techniques and crafts are no longer practiced, this collection brings hope that what is lost could be brought back, and that which still exists can be produced with the utmost skill and quality.
