Garment Workers Archive

This channel contains a set of interviews conducted as part of Stitching an Archive Together, a Foundation Project implemented by India Foundation for the Arts under its Project 560 programme. The interviews have been conducted with garment sector organisers and their allies and are meant to offer first-hand perspectives on trade union movement,  on organising women workers in the city, the intersections of feminist and labour movements within the garment sector, among others.

A significant part of the project involved building an archive of the work undertaken by Garment and Textile Workers' Union and Garment Mahila Karmikara Munnade in organising and mobilising garment workers in Bengaluru and the surrounding region. The website can be accessed here: garmentworkersarchive.org.

Swathi Shivanand was project coordinator while Prathibha R was the collaborator.
