IAAA's Draped in Heritage program brings together member artists to create original works of art draped over the elephants at key events during the Great Elephant Migration exhibition in Livermore. We draw on Indian artistic traditions — kalamkari, block print, batik, embroidery — and modern techniques and materials - upcycled fabrics, 3D printing etc., and weave in themes of conservation and coexistence. Our work will reach thousands of visitors in person in Livermore — and hundreds of thousands more across the globe through extensive media coverage of the exhibition.

In the words of one of our members:

Jumbo (Haiku) - By Majella Pinto

Thriving pachyderms

Reclaim space, food and freedom

Declaring cease-strife.
