The New York Sari | Featuring Suchitra Mattai
The New York Historical, New York
September 12, 2025 – April 26, 2026
The New York Sari showcases the deep influence that South Asians have had on the culture of New York City and how individuals have drawn strength from tradition while looking clearly towards a bolder future of inclusion and progress. It centers the sari as an essential part of the cultural fabric of New York City, using it as a metaphor for the ways in which the individuals who wear and create saris have straddled tradition, culture, and modernity in their work, art, and lives. The exhibition tells the stories of who wears saris, the relationship between saris and identities, and how they've evolved over time.
