THE WOVEN PATH

The Woven Path was successfully implemented as a cultural mobility fund project support by the European Union which aimed at documenting, preserving, and promoting Sierra Leone's traditional weaving heritage while strengthening collaboration between rural master artisans and the country's creative industry. The project brought together traditional women weavers, cultural institutions, fashion practitioners, students, and young creatives through research, documentation, practical learning, and public knowledge-sharing activities. The implementation created new opportunities for preserving indigenous textile knowledge while encouraging innovation through contemporary design.
