🧵1️⃣ Attended a stunning basket case of a talk by Reita Rahim of Gerai OA — https://www.facebook.com/geraioa/

Lots of witty stories about their work with the orang asal (indigenous people of peninsular Malaysia), who sadly make up less than one percent of the population, but still make dope baskets and weaved… cat toys? 🙃 The latter is a collaboration with Gerai AO to make marketable, sellable things.
