An exploration of the cultural and political life of the Paisley motif, tracing its journey from its hand-woven origins in Kashmir to its mass-produced form in Britain, particularly in the town of Paisley, through colonial trade.

Room 84: The Paisley re-imagines Western museum spaces; this is displayed in various 3D objects made from elastic, plaster, wood, beads, paper, books and fabric inside of 15 wooden boxes mounted to the walls.

​

This aspect of the project was a commissioned sound piece by Sofia Armella.
