Social Textiles
Textile that tells a story about a material, technique, region and community.
The project Social Textiles by Ro Smit revolves around creating new opportunities by using old skills and crafts. SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY From hand woven felted carpets from the Himalayas and hand woven cotton rugs from Nepal: Ro Smit develops all kinds of sustainable products for this purpose, which empowers craftsmen’s skills. What is his main challenge? Ensuring that they will rediscover the joy of working with their products for export and enabling them to provide for themselves. ETHICAL CARPETS Ro Smit is fascinated by these opportunities for reviving the traditionally available or produced raw materials through the associated crafts.
