STITCHING OUR STORIES
WOMEN'S WORK IN PHOTOGRAPHY AND EMBROIDERY
The Stitching our Stories artists were asked to document the daily lives of women and girls in their communities by photographing the wide range jobs that women do. As illustrated by their photos, women and girls in Northern Laos play many roles (often all at one time) including, cooking, weaving, construction work, farming, studying, taking care of children, cleaning, dancing, selling at the market, making incense, and of course, embroidery.
