Rafooghar -رفو گھر - The House that mends is a community space in New Delhi where women, who live on the margins and have faced discrimination and social exclusion for years, gather and find space and time for sukoon (peace) and fursat (leisure).

Here, embroidery, a familiar medium, often dismissed as a trivial pursuit - is used to delve deeper into the themes of identity, agency, and mobility and demonstrate its power as a form of therapy, creative expression and empowerment. In the context of mental health, the act of stitching serves as a therapeutic outlet for participants, allowing them to channel their emotions, reduce stress, mend and heal not just fabrics but also emotions, thoughts, and relationships.
