Episode Synopsis

All aboard? Let’s go to Kabul and meet Ramzia Khorami and Maryam Omar, two vanguards bringing Afghan jewellery and Silk Road-era crafts to the contemporary global marketplace. This is a rare opportunity to hear about the experiences of two women within the country’s burgeoning artisan and design sector.

Ramzia and Maryam share the inside story about leaving and returning to Kabul, about what it’s like to be a woman working in Kabul and about their work with Turquoise Mountain (listen to our previous episode on this fabulous heritage and craft organisation!).
