Adil’s role is that of a creative facilitator who acts as a catalyst, bridge and mediator throughout the process. This ‘facilitation’ indicates that Adil guided and encouraged the women throughout the making process and his intention was to give the makers more ownership. His insider and outsider positionality gave him wide-ranging perspectives on how to approach the female embroiderers. Additionally, he was situated as the outsider within Chitral, which gave him multiple entry points that guided the facilitation process. The project was developed in a manner that would unpack multiple layers of cultural expressions from both Outer Hebrides and Chitral valley. Themes such as traditional songs; folklore; cuisine; kitchen items; weddings; and everyday objects set the background for a dialogue and inspiration with the local women.
