In the heart of Assam’s Lakhimpur district live Moromi Borah, Dipti Dutta, Saran Dutta, and a community of self-sufficient women who have mastered the art of weaving. These skilled artisans are the gatekeepers of a timeless tradition, weaving stories of culture, creativity, and craftsmanship into every piece. Each thread is woven with love, connecting generations through vibrant patterns and intricate designs.

 

As they bring their heritage to life on the loom, they wonder about the future of this craft and the fading art that has defined their culture for generations.

 

This film is part of ‘Stories from the Ground: Northeast India,’ a film series by The Habitats Trust and Dusty Foot Production, featuring 50 shorts by local filmmakers that celebrate the culture, traditions, and biodiversity of the region.
