Embroidery
work is a household hunar (skill) and serves as a safe
haven for all types of creativity and self-expression.
Hunza women have been trained in embroidery techniques
at home for generations. It is a common skill every
woman must learn before her wedding.
For the
women embroidery is a form of self-portrait and serves
as an important asset. The fine cross-stitches using
superb design and thread color say a lot about the
producer, her aesthetic sense, her culture and her
tradition. For them it is not only an art but also a
tool that brings about confidence and self-reliance for
women. |
