"I was first introduced to Isadora's work through her piece "Illuminated Womanscript". It is a fabric book with stitched stories of international women and their lives. I found this piece to be remarkably moving and extraordinarily insightful for such a young artist. I hope to help make the "Illuminated Womanscript" available for many to see as I know it will inspire others as well. I can't wait to watch Isadora's art in the future. She has a unique and fine capacity to tell the stories of our complex world and societies."
"There is much beauty in the film "Unconscious Eloquence", and some sequences are very arresting, especially the river views and other overlays. The power of red in India: issues ofpurity and pollution is very strong. Gender issues are extremely complex in India as elsewhere, and it is hard to successfully discuss/equate with Durga/Kali worship with women's status in Indian society. GREAT narration!"
"Isadora Leidenfrost's portrayal of the textile tradition of the Gujarati culture is an intimate image of the artistry and lifestyle of a family-art form tied to the worship of Durga. Well-designed and edited, this DVD will serve as a testament to a traditional art form that may soon be lost to the forces of Indian modernization."
