During my last week working with we are KAL, I sat down with Catherine, the founder/creative director of the social enterprise to learn more about her story.

The Karnak women that comprise the team at we are Kal share their thoughts on shifting from their nomadic way of living to a settled life in the city and how they maintain their practice.

How the practice of weaving is integrated into an understanding of community and cloth and representative of their intertwining relationship.

The beauty and the complexity in the rhythms of life within the Karnak community and the changes they are witnessing as their lifestyle is challenged by a pull to the city.

The stories that brought me to Ladakh, India and how it was to arrive in the high Himalayas and be welcomed by the people and the place.
