Stitching Women’s Lives The exhibition Stitching Women’s Lives: Sujuni and Khatwa from Bihar, India, was originally conceived by Dr. Skye Morrison and Dorothy Caldwell on a visit to India in 1996. Sujuni is a term Bihari women use for straight running stitch embroidery on layered cotton. Traditionally made by women, old worn out saris are layered and held together by fine coloured threads pulled from the sari’s edges. Religious and secular narrative themes emphasize the role of women in the community and highlight local issues which affect their lives. Sujunis are created collectively: One woman draws the design, many hands do the stitching.
