Weavers of Time

In the remote mountains of Kenya’s savannah, the Akamba people—revered as The Rope People—have honed an ancient craft over centuries. Masters of storytelling through their hands, they are hunters, traders, and guardians of a vanishing art: hand-weaving baobab bark into enduring textiles.

This tradition, passed down through generations of women, begins with the sustainable harvest of the mighty baobab tree. Its bark is spun into a resilient, natural fabric—a process as rare as it is sacred.
