Making the traditions visible
The exhibition presented the women not merely as subjects, but as holders and teachers of specialized knowledge passed through hands-on making, stories, and everyday life.
Marie Anna Lee selected and edited the photographs, developed eleven original illustrations, wrote the Czech and English interpretation, and designed the outdoor exhibition panels in collaboration with the Náprstek Museum's curators.
The display connected imagery of craft processes with the broader cultural contexts in which Kam women sustain traditional knowledge.
