Delhi | Textile Designer
Journey
Sanjay Garg grew up in Rajasthan, where rural India shaped his sense of beauty and design. He studied textile design at the Indian Institute of Craft & Design and the National Institute of Fashion Technology.
In 2008, he began working with weavers in Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh. His innovations in yarn and weaving created a new visual language that now defines the region.
He founded Raw Mango in 2008, exploring handloom through experimentation with Mashru, Benarasi, and Ikat weaving traditions.
Style
Sanjay Garg's work emerges through a continuing dialogue with the self, worked out through making. Inspiration can come from politics or through color and motif. It does not have to be pretty; it can be uneasy or unresolved, and still find expression.
Raw Mango's designs build upon centuries-old skills to define a new aesthetic vocabulary. Created with karigars across multiple regions, the work is informed by India's dynamic socio-cultural and political landscape.
