Study Groups

Come explore and enjoy a presentation by Jean Howe and William Ingram, co-founders of Threads of Life, an Indonesian social enterprise since 1998, on how to sustain Indonesia's indigenous textile traditions in the 21st century. Threads of Life works directly with over 1000 women weavers in more than 35 groups on 12 Indonesian islands to build livelihoods, empower women, revitalize indigenous culture, and conserve dye plant ecologies. Their textile and basket products can be seen on their website and in retail galleries in Bali.
