On 3rd March 2018, the Indian Heritage Centre organised a conference entitled The Word & The Image: in Art & Society in conjunction with the exhibition Symbols and Scripts: The Language of Craft. This publication emphasises how script and symbolism have been the twin inspirations for the Indian artisan, who has for centuries, used the word as image, and the image as word to create a powerful rhetoric. These essays remind us of the legacy of our rich Indian heritage as children of the diaspora, reconnecting us with our roots.
