Bhaahs Wess project: Documenting sustainable fashion and ancestral knowledge with Cauca communities
The experience
We are a company focused on preserving ancestral knowledge transformed into natural and self-sustaining garments. We connect native communities of Cauca with technology and design, creating opportunities for locals in national and international markets. We would love to open our doors to volunteers to help us document our production, creation, and staging processes, in order to promote the values of our brand.
