From May 13 to 19, 2025, Mumbai’s iconic Jehangir Art Gallery will host ‘Thread Story’, a solo exhibition by Pune-based eminent artist and designer Alka Rode Held in Gallery No. 3 and open daily from 11 AM to 7 PM, the exhibition invites viewers into a world where fabric, thread, and design converge to tell powerful, textured stories.

This show was inaugurated on 13th May 2025 by distinguished Design Educator and Calligrapher Hon. Dr. Santosh Kshirsagar former Dean of J.J. institute of Applied of Art, Mumbai

Alka Rode, a trained graphic designer and fine artist, moves beyond the boundaries of traditional media in this compelling collection. Using fabric scraps and running stitches, she constructs compositions that are not only visually engaging but emotionally resonant. Her work represents a unique synthesis of art and craft — transforming everyday materials into a narrative language that is both personal and universally relatable.

A defining feature of Thread Story is Alka’s extraordinary ability to see potential in the discarded. Small, seemingly non-useful pieces of used clothing — often overlooked as scraps — are placed thoughtfully on the canvas, each stitch guided by her artistic vision. What begins as waste in the eyes of many becomes a meaningful and intricate composition under her hands. That transformation, from ordinary to extraordinary, is the quiet magic of Alka Rode’s artistry.

At the heart of Thread Story lies an exploration of womanhood. Alka portrays the feminine experience through multiple lenses — from divine archetypes to the contemporary woman — each piece offering a new perspective on identity, strength, and emotion. These themes are expressed not through paint or pencil, but through layers of fabric stitched together with deliberate care, giving each artwork a tactile and intimate dimension.

In addition to thematic portraits, the exhibition features a series of abstract compositions. These works reflect Alka’s keen design sensibility, honed through years of experience and formal education, including a G.D. Art, an Art Teacher Diploma, and an M.A. in Fine Arts. Her command over color theory, texture, and visual rhythm is evident throughout the show. Each stitch becomes a mark of continuity, connection, and contemplation — turning fragments into wholes, silence into conversation.

“The thread is my line, and fabric is my medium,” Alka explains. “What I create is not just an image — it’s a visual story stitched together with thought and emotion.”

Thread Story is more than an exhibition — it is an invitation to see art through a new lens, where thread carries meaning and fabric holds memory. The show stands as a bold example of innovation in contemporary Indian art, offering a sensory and symbolic experience that resonates long after the viewer has left the gallery.
