STITCHING OUR STORIES EDUCATION TEAM
Stitching Our Stories is a partnership project of Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre (TAEC) and PhotoForward and was made possible through the collaboration of our education team:

"I am very happy that this project offered the opportunity to women and girls from different ethnic groups to learn new skills and share the talents they have. I am so proud of the success of the project and the hard work and amazing information about Lao women's lives that the women and girls shared"

"I am very happy about this project. It gave me many new experiences including learning about and teaching photography and camera techniques. I am also excited that women in Laos have the opportunity to share their work and stories and to learn how amazing they are.”

"I feel very fortunate to have been a part of a project with such potential for social good.  Empowering women, promoting self-representation, and fostering creativity among ethnic youth helps revitalize communities, and it's great to be a part of that."

ALLISON MILEWSKI
Founder and Director 
PhotoForward
"Since PhotoForward began 10 years ago, I have had the joy of working in partnership with organizations and communities around the world to develop programs that celebrate women and girls' cultural histories and individual stories, and it has been a special honour to create the Stitching Our Stories program in cooperation with the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre.

The 28 women and girls in this program created and collected the stories, oral histories, and cultural artifacts featured in this exhibition, and they also helped to shape and improve our workshops and educational opportunities. Their work has now been shown around the world, including film festivals, art galleries, and cultural exhibitions in Laos, Cambodia, Great Britain, and the United States. I am so grateful to all of our artists for sharing their talent, time, and stories with us. "
