Ahmed lleva tres años tinturando con henna, un tinte natural que proviene del árbol de henna y que crece en el mismo lugar donde él nació, Zagora, en el sureste de Marruecos. Ahmed hoy en día vive cerca de Marrakech y aunque está lejos de su ciudad natal, de alguna forma fue acá donde se reconecto con su territorio, a partir del proceso de la tintura y la materialidad. 

Photographer Nabina Nazar recently spent time in Ladakh, India to document the region’s textile processes with our partners KAL. Nabina was gracious enough to share some of her photos with us. These images tell a visual story of the rich history of the region, at the base of the Himalayan mountains, where life is connected to the seasons and textiles are still created by hand.

If you find these photos inspiring, you can join us for a textile tour in Ladakh this year.

We were privileged to host artist and storyteller Maya Poon and photographer Kate Berry in the beautiful Atlas Mountains foothills earlier this year, on our Morocco Wool Weaving Workshop. Here, Maya shares about the experience, accompanied by Kate’s beautiful photos.
