This dissertation reflects on a six-month internship with The Registry of Sarees (TRS) and Yali, organisations engaged in the research, curation, and presentation of handwoven textiles. Situated at the intersection of design and craft, the project examines exhibition-making as both a mode of inquiry and a design practice. Rather than documenting outputs alone, the work investigates how display systems shape the experience of textiles and contribute to the construction of brand language.

The project began with the design of modular, adaptable display units aligned with the ethos of handwoven textiles. Over time, it expanded to include exhibitions at multiple scales, a pop-up stall, and a studio revamp. This progression transformed the brief into an evolving inquiry into adaptability, craft sensibility, and curatorial collaboration. The dissertation traces this trajectory, reflecting on how exhibition systems generate meaning and how spatial design practices grow through iterative, collaborative processes.
