About

You open a packed wardrobe and think, “I have nothing to wear.” Most of us treat fashion decluttering as a weekend chore: toss a few old clothes and accessories (material objects), clear a shelf, move on. But what we hold on to, and what we let go of, often says more about where we are in life than we’d admit.
Atta Galatta is hosting a reading and conversation around Bhawana Pingali’s The Art of Decluttering: Ancient Practices for Modern Living. There are no minimalist or maximalist rules and no styling tips. Instead, the evening is built around sthiram (or sthirata), the Sanskrit idea of steadiness, and the tweaked old Indian rituals Bhawana writes about in her book, which can make getting dressed feel like less of a chore.
Bhawana will read a few passages, take questions, and talk with the room about how clothes, body, mind, home, and identity shape our days. If you want to buy less and use more, are going through a change in your life, or simply like talking about fashion and books, you’re welcome to join.

She is a fashion writer, researcher, and yoga-meditation facilitator whose work focuses on slow fashion and textile care.
