Welcome to Silai Kahani

This website presents an online exhibition of the personal stories and memories of women we interviewed as part of the Silai Kahani project. Silai Kahani stands for Sewing Stories in Urdu, one of the predominant languages of the organisation's founders and first students.

The Silai Kahani project documented the history of Silai for Skills through interviews, conversations, workshops and creative arts.

audio Here you can listen to the stories and memories of the women we interviewed. Personal, witty, inspiring and often poignant, their stories challenge us all to think about the women in our lives. Look out for the listen buttons, to hear what they have to say.
