This video opens with Uzramma tracing the journey of Malkha, a handloom NGO, that works with cotton farmers, spinners and weavers, to create sustainable and diverse futures for craft knowledge. Uzramma explains its original impulse rooted in decolonizing the fragmented knowledge base of artisanal cotton handloom production. Dharmender Vaddepally, textile designer and currently the custodian of Malkha commons, then walks us through a case study of Sonthanga, a collection of textiles that was created to mark the shift to non-GM organically grown cotton, which helped to re-establish the knowledge links between cotton farmers, and handloom artisans. Each of the key participants in this process sees it as an exercise in regaining the ownership of the knowledge that had previously been taken away from them. To do this they draw upon the memory of relationships that are central to the social construction of Indian handlooms. This enables them to assert their individual ownerships, which is not at odds with the shared ownership of knowledge, and defines the nature of this commons. The handloom knownable exists in the space of the shared ownership of this collection. Even as each producer can claim particular knowledge of individual parts, the collection of textiles belongs to all of them collectively, and is a knownable that spans naming (via textile designs, sample books), performance (via the practices of farming, spinning, weaving), and use (the wearing of this cloth).
