My driving motivation is not now to create fashion from Nepali textiles made by the beautiful Tharu culture... What satisfaction, REALLY- does that give them? There's no ownership, there's little connection with exactly where their products are going and what they represent.
Not to say one day I ill head back towards this- but not until their ownership is established.
What will my next adventure to Nepal include?
A basis for a craft centre that they want to be involved in, they can see the reason for their work, and are not bound to the centre for security..
Some pretty serious questions need to be addressed...
Do they want me there?
What creative knowledge do they have?
Can we work with these skills to product products that are useful in NEPAL... ?
Can we ALSO work with these skills to product products that can be sold in a western consumerist market?
How does a Nepali woman really live daily? What are their priorities?
