Threading Tales - the story of October Store

Ifrah Faheem discovers the fables behind the unique craft of October, an initiative started by Pragya Aggarwal during her master's at UCL.

'Textiles are more than fabric, they can carry memory, culture, and connections across borders.' Producer and presenter Ifrah Faheem from Pakistan has completed an internship in the UK with Podium.me and this was a piece she pitched and made.

The podcast was recorded remotely from the Himalayan foothills of Jammu, and features the voices of the young and older craftswomen as they print and create new designs based on old stories.

A huge thanks to October’s team specially Lovepreet, Shivani, and Mehak.
