As we’ve walked with the weavers this past twenty-five years, their pace has quickened. The young weavers hav entered the digital world, becoming as familiar with international culture as they are with their own. Outside industries and money are changing their economic and physical landscape. Climate change is affecting farming and herding. All these changes bring both threats and opportunities.

We are in constant conversation with weavers of different generations to understand how they see their textile heritage and how they want to preserve it. They are determining their future day by day. Our job for the next twenty-five years is to walk with them, to listen, to keep pace, and to support them along the path that they choose.
