Tradition, gender and cultural legacy: The changing fabric of weaving
Like many cultural artforms, the art of weaving is threaded through generations. Their handywork is seen every day in our household items like mats, bags and fans.
But if younger generations aren't sitting and observing their elders to learn these intricate inner workings, what could this mean for the future of woven goods?
You'll hear from from Nancy Mahuna, a Papua New Guinean weaver from Iokea in the Gulf Province, as well as Tongan weaver Sione Mailaseni, who's not letting the fact that he's a man stop him from reviving ancient weaving styles that were traditionally practiced by women.
Culture Compass was produced by Deadset Studios for ABC Radio Australia.
