New Delhi, Feb. 7 -- Grace Lillian Lee's woven artwear-akin to ceremonial totems and warrior armours-stands out at the India Art Fair. These sculpted dresses catch the eye for their form and colour, offering a glimpse of the indigenous culture of Australia. Lee, a Samsep, works at the intersection of contemporary art, fashion and living indigenous cultural practices. She is known for many firsts-for instance, in 2025, Lee became the first indigenous Australian woman to present independently at Couture Fashion Week in Paris. While in India, she is participating in a conversation, Dreaming in Thread, in collaboration with Raw Mango as well, to discuss cross-cultural exchanges between First Nations and South Asian creative traditions.
