TCRC and its Aim
The aim of TCRC as a society is to work towards the collection and dissemination of knowledge in the area of Textiles and Clothing, while collaborating with other researchers in this field of study.
India has a legacy of producing the most exquisite textiles, each with its own geographical and cultural marker. The same can be said for clothing, aristocratic as well as from other sections of society. Realizing the need for a common platform for exchange of knowledge in lost textile traditions as well as contemporary practices, a group of like-minded and dedicated researchers including academics, curators, conservators of textiles, designers of clothing, came together to set up TCRC – Textiles and Clothing Research Centre, to be launched formally on the 1st of February 2017, at the National Museum in the presence of Dr. B R Mani, Director General (National Museum).
The society’s website www.tcrc.in will work as a repository of information for interested individuals. TCRC will be publishing bi-annual e-Journals for its members. TCRC will also announce its first call for papers on the 1st of February 2017 and is planning to host the first international conference in November 2017. All details of which will be available on the website.
