Jamdani weavers, Rupganj, Bangladesh 2016 from Raisa Kabir on Vimeo.
This is a short research film made during a textile research residency in Bangladesh. Meeting and working with local Jamdani weavers and their families. Rupganj is located just outside of Dhaka, here I met Alamin Bhai's family business, a weaving workshop nestled amidst many others in a village nearly entirely dedicated to making and setting up looms, and the weaving of Jamdani sarees.
Alamin Bhai, and his Ma!
