Taṇṇīr illāmal rattattai eppaṭi kaḻuvuvēṉ (Without Water How will I Wash the Blood Off’) consists of thirty saree blouses hand embroidered with short, sentence long stories about women’s experiences with water scarcity. The series is made by the women of ‘Namma Katte’, a leisure space created by artist Indu Antony for women to ‘sit, chill, talk, sing, gossip, scratch and scream, and do whatever they want in’.
