Ep. 5 From Tunisia to the World: Craft, Diaspora & Fouta Harissa

الوصف

In this episode of Custodians of Craft, we sit down with Alia Mahmoud and Lamia Hatira, co-founders of Fouta Harissa, a modern textile studio rooted in Tunisia and stretched across the diaspora. Born out of friendship, memory, and a shared reverence for the fouta, the everyday Tunisian textile that dries quickly, folds softly, and carries generations. Fouta Harissa is their love letter to heritage and a step towards reviving the Tunisian textile industry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fouta Harissa Website: https://www.foutaharissa.com/ Fout Harissa Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foutaharissa/ Fouta Harissa Playlist: https://tinyurl.com/4sjfaae7 All images copyright: Fouta Harissa Links to the brands mentioned in the conversation: La Liste Tunisienne: https://www.lalistetunisienne.tn/ Nor Black Nor White: https://norblacknorwhite.com/ Wanda LePhoto: https://wandalephoto.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Links to Subject Matter: Newsletter: https://www.subjectmatter.world/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/subjectmatter-world/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/subjectmatter.labs/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/43jL0jS2UgMvnq3APTBKOe?si=twZohuvJSBiZFfHUfzLfAQ Hosted & Produced by Rini Bankhwal --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This episode is brought to you by Book of Rebel Asians, a platform, a voice, a movement & soon to be published book.
