How can material‑driven design and dialogue between artist‑researchers and duojár contribute to the study of duodji and textile history? Rather than treating textiles as static artifacts or illustrations of cultural narratives, this study approaches them as active cultural agents. The field of visual and material methodologies is broad, yet essential for understanding how textiles function as active participants in social, cultural, and transnational processes. The transnational nature of textiles has taken shape and entered use across many layers of time and space.
