D i a l o g u e In appreciation of the importance of different ideas, the Dialogue opens its doors to all interested in this type of exchange; informative, controversial and above all conducive to understanding issues, peoples and places.
Whether you have a story to tell, an idea to present, a comment or a suggestion to make, a question or two about a specific tribe, region or textile, please feel free to express it here and share it with others. So, email us what you wish to make known and we will place it in the Dialogue, available to all interested to respond. We hope you support our efforts to make this a community platform of shared interests so knowledge, understanding and true communication prevails among people of all backgrounds, races, and religions. Neither from here nor from there; we are all One, everywhere. Weaving is a universal cultural craft born of necessity and imagination. Indigenous people worldwide share similarities of pattern and form in their expressions of weaving, be it with wool or bamboo. First, as a utilitarian need and then as a form of beauty. Anyone out there cares to inform and comment on such similarities in flat weave between the Navajo and the Qashgai of Persia with regard to color, pattern, symbols, wool, and dye..??? Or is there anyone cares to inform about the mantas of Peru and Bolivia with references to spinning, wool, dying, finesse of weave, size or any other aspect of the Alte Plano setting with respect to type of wool produced and spun to offset the cold at such altitudes!!!
