Weaving, although a cultural heritage and old practice in the local Flores community, has been mainly limited to household use only. Similarly, weaving can also be traced back to decades-old family tradition in Kalimantan, Papua & many parts of Indonesia. These dying handcraft arts are replaced by other activities of higher perceived value and practicality. 

As Du Anyam embarked on a journey to advocate women empowerment, we have been able to find and reconnect with many Nusantara legacies. Through several culture-promoting strategies such as weaving curriculum for high school students, year-round training for weavers, we hope to not only preserve but also revive the priceless arts of Indonesia.
