Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Mumbai, in collaboration with the Museum of Art & Photography (MAP), Bengaluru, and IMPART presents ‘Ticket Tika Chaap: The Art of the Trademark in Indo-British Textile Trade’ at the Special Project Space, from 1st March to 7th June, 2026. The exhibition is curated by Nathaniel Gaskell and Shrey Maurya. Bringing intricate and evocative textile tickets into focus, the exhibition explores the new visual language that emerged in the cloth shops that had increasingly begun selling British and Indian mill-made cloth in the bustling bazaars of the 19th and early-20th centuries in India. Glossy, brightly coloured paper labels, bearing elaborate images accompanied each bolt of cloth that arrived from Britain. These labels had many names — textile ticket, shippers’ ticket, tika, tikat, chaap, and mark. Each of these stunning chromolithographed labels served a myriad of purposes. The textile ticket is a testament to how images shape perception, value, and desire—a story as relevant today as it was over a century ago. Each label carries the weight of trade histories, colonial encounters and global exchange, showing us how deeply art, culture and commerce are connected. We look forward to your visit!
