Threaded Narratives

Reclaiming Batak heritage by centering female weavers through archival textile guardianship.

  • Branding and Identity
  • Print and Publication
  • User Experience

This project reinstates the partonun (female weavers) as the central author of Batak cultural heritage. By reframing the ulos (Batak textile) from a commodity to 'guardianship' through a provenance system and archive, it ensures these women’s identities and labor remain inseparable from the cloths they create.
