SOS COMMUNITY RESEARCHERS
Graduates of the Stitching Our Stories workshop are eligible to apply for the Community Researchers training program, which offers intensive workshops in digital photography as well as an introduction to documentary film and ethnographic research. |

The researchers‐in‐training came together over several months to further develop their skills and interview techniques and set out in their own communities to document the varied and changing roles of women in Lao society. Although the participants come from a variety of economic and cultural backgrounds they all share the excitement of having the tools and training to explore their traditions and share their stories. Their research topics have ranged from traditional medicine, Tai Lue weavers, and parenting to Hmong shamans, textile artists, and papermaking.
Upon completion of the training program, participants become Community Researchers for TAEC and youth participants are eligible for an internship position at the museum. Meet the Community Researchers and learn more about the lives and work of women in Laos...
