We tell untold stories.
Each community has its own stories that are part of a larger, unexplored picture. We seek to celebrate both of these cultures by asking questions that may never have been asked before.
We are committed to honesty. Not all stories are comfortable or easy to hear—but their relevancy remains central to the overall picture. We cannot tell a complete story without facing truths of all kinds.
Each story comes from an individual who is part of a community. We vow to respect the individual histories we document, both good and bad.
We intend to use each story and all data collected to tell the larger story of textile culture in the South, as it truly was.
We seek to collaborate.
We will work with organizations who have similar goals and visions and who have relevant information toward our project.
We will reach out to all academic organizations to find the most accurate resources available to us in our studies.
We do not limit our community by physical boundary. Those who have stories or information to share that is relevant to our study are welcome to the conversation
