জল-মাটি-গল্প, a Storytellers Group

We are a group of story weavers based in Bangladesh exploring the deep connections between people and their environment. Rooted in community and place, we build and share narratives non-traditionally from the ground up, reimagining how stories are told and experienced. We support each other to tell stories that celebrate local culture, amplify voices often unheard, and inspire a rethinking of our relationship with the world around us. Currently, we are traveling across Bangladesh meeting with communities living near key water bodies, exploring the local culinary techniques unique to each region, and gathering fish recipes that are becoming rare in today’s kitchens. Fellows: Asma Alam and Sania Iqbal
