Assam Weaver Revives Muga Silk, Empowers Community

In Assam, India, Jagrity Phukan started a project called Way of Living Studio to help revive a special kind of silk called Muga silk.

She works with local artisans, especially women, to make beautiful fabrics.

The studio focuses on being kind to the environment, paying the workers fairly, and keeping the traditional ways of making silk alive.

They are trying to show that it is possible to create a business that helps the community and protects the planet.

Many women, including survivors of domestic violence, have found safety and empowerment through this work.

The project also aims to bring the story of Muga silk to the world, celebrating its heritage and unique qualities.
