Oame's founding team has been promoting the protection and innovation of cultural heritage in Dongzhai, Guizhou since 2015, supporting local women to establish cooperatives based on traditional textiles, and promoting the sustainable development of the community. The women in the village are often not good at expressing words in Mandarin, but they place the life stories they see, hear and perceive in the daily objects they create for their families and themselves. Whether it is clothes, head handkerchief, baby sling, warm quilt, or flower belt for the person in love, every stitch and thread are carefully made, each pattern has a unique meaning, and there is a deep emotion between warp and weft, and the person who uses it also takes good care of it. In the process of being passed down from generation to generation, carefully made and used day after day, the ritual sense of daily life is established. Inspired by this, we hope that this kind of life scene intertwined with "etiquette, things, people, and feelings" can also enter the lives of more people, discover the beauty of life and enjoy life through small things and things at hand. joy.
