'This illuminating and revealing publication is a distinctive and significant reflection of the arts, crafts and culture of South Asia. With lavish illustrations and scholarly essays by curators and artists from the sub-Continent together with views from host galleries in England, it brings a much needed awareness of the diverse and rich, but as yet unacknowledged, present-day arts and crafts from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.' Extract from back cover of catalogue. This catalogue includes a foreword by Alnoor Mitha, Director of Shisha and a preface by Jacques Rangasamy, Chairman of Shisha. Also included are artist's biographies. There are a few articles in the catalogue with no mention of authors.
