Join us at our next event!
Continuing with the theme of joy, we welcome you to explore the art of sari draping.
The sari is six yards of story. Of memory, migration, celebration, and self. And yet for so many of us, it can feel like a garment we admire from a distance, something saved for special occasions, something that feels a little out of reach in everyday life.
This event is an invitation to change that.
Joining us is Niddhi Uppal, sari creative and artist, whose work invites people to discover the playfulness and expressive possibilities of this iconic textile. Niddhi brings warmth, curiosity, and a deep love for the sari into everything she does, and this afternoon will be no different.
Together we'll explore how the sari connects us to personal, cultural, and collective identity across generations. We'll talk about what it means to find joy through this garment, and how to begin wearing it in ways that feel confident, easy and genuinely yours. Style that belongs just as much in the modern world as it does in our memories.
Whether you are encountering the sari for the first time, or gently reconnecting with a tradition that feels familiar but distant, this is a welcoming space for learning, conversation, and creativity, with joy sitting at the centre.
Come and find your joy in six yards.

Our Previous events
Sharing Joy circle 2026
In this intimate sharing circle we explored the theme of JOY and how material objects of adornment and fashion can spark memories, feelings and connection for South Asian Women. The afternoon was filled with vibrant conversations about how we feel connected to our names, our objects of joy, how joy can be layered with various emotions and how we move through the world as South Asian and global majority women.
AN Social 2025
In the beautiful Golders Hill Park we held an open space for new and old community members to come together with open hearts, flowing coversation and all the snacks.
And were later held in a beautiful space under a canopy of trees for a guided breathing and meditation practice with Jaina Mistry.
It was the perfect way to reconnect with the community and our hearts are so full with the space that we all created.
Adorned narratives festival 2024
Adorned Narratives: Wearing Our Stories With Pride was a first-of-its-kind pop-up we co-curated with community at its heart.
Held during South Asian Heritage Month at The Lab E20, East London, this three-day festival was all about celebrating identity, creativity, and stories through the lens of adornment and style. It was a space filled with love, connection, and empowerment, a moment we’ll always treasure and the start of our organisation.
