Rafooghar -رفو گھر - The House that mends
(inspired from the word Rafoogar/ Rafu Gar, needle-worker, darner or a cloth mender, رفو گر) a safe, creative space for emotional repair, restoration and rejuvenation
We meet every Sunday, in a small room in one of the most marginalized neighbourhoods for ‘sukoon’ and ‘fursat’. Through the mediums of embroidery and textiles, we share stories; learn about each others’ lives and find common ground in our daily challenges despite our differences. We don’t just embroider our stories onto fabric; but also use it as a means to spark conversations and dialogues on challenging themes and issues.
Rafooghar is conceived by Compassion Contagion and is executed in collaboration with Yellow Streets and Artreach India.
Rafooghar was funded by ART, University of York and Pollination grant
