Ticket Tika Chaap: The Art of the Trademark in Textile Trade

Ticket Tika Chaap: The Art of the Trademark in Textile Trade, at Museum of Art & Photography, explores the visual culture of textile labels used during the Indo British trade era. These vibrant printed tickets, once attached to cloth, functioned as early forms of branding, blending art, commerce and cultural symbolism.

Bringing together hundreds of historic labels alongside archival material, the exhibition reveals how imagery shaped consumer perception across diverse markets. Drawing from mythology, royalty and everyday life, these works reflect the intersections of colonial trade, visual culture and global exchange.

Together, the exhibition offers a compelling look at the origins of branding, inviting viewers to reconsider how images influence value, identity and desire.
