Natural Bilum from Among Equals
For this beautiful bilum from Papua New Guinea, natural fibres are sourced from surrounding vegetation including the Sisal and Pandanus plant, laboriously beaten, twisted into string and then woven. Weavers expertly utilise natural dyes made from plants, ochres and berries to enhance their patterns.
Through its trade of Bilum, Among Equals is dedicated to improving the communities' wellbeing, including funding and construction of the Blue Haus, a safe shelter for the weavers to come together, learn and weave.
