Unfolding the Saree
A self-published zine that explores the Madonna/Whore phenomenon that is unique to the saree-wearing women of India. As we unfold, we reveal the true nature of this versatile garment, by questioning the notion that the saree is attire for the ‘modest’ woman, tracking its appearances in pop culture, politics and even religion, as a 'sexy’ garment, as we touch upon various other implications in cultural traditions.
