This talk introduces Talampam, a project to revitalize indigenous culture and promote sustainable development in Laos. The culture of Khmu indigenous people is deeply connected to nature, and the traditions of the past can help us imagine a sustainable future. Talampam aims to promote and help preserve Khmu identity, improve the situation of women and girls in rural Laos, and contribute to building a sustainable future. Talampam is a diverse team of young artists and traditional artisans that works together to design, create, and share handicrafts and clothing.
