My article TAKE REFUGE – Textile initiatives engaging with refugees is published in Selvedge Magazine Issue 118. It features enterprises working with talented refugee artisans, including Threads of Hope Cairo, SilaiWali, Earth Heir, Indego Africa, MADE51, Kissweh, and Womenscraft. Some of their products are in our TheTextileAtlas shop.

As the number of displaced people continues to rise worldwide, engaging with refugee artisans thoughtfully and providing them with opportunities to preserve their cultural heritage is essential. In an age where we are more informed about world issues and the power of our consumption, supporting refugee-made crafts is an effective way to assist individuals in hardship and help heritage practices sustain and strive.
