Knowledge traditionally orally passed down through generations is at risk of being forgotten. This is especially true for individuals living in a diaspora. The distance from elders means we are more likely to lose these traditions and knowledge. This project aims to preserve this knowledge in relation to my own culture to embrace who we are and not lose a part of ourselves. A specially printed Libyan traditional wrap dress, that tells a story of my own memories and connection to the Nafusa Mountains, leads to the knowledge of how to wrap it in the form of a video.
