The fashion industry has long been running on diminishing, eradicating and erasing clothing systems that do not contribute to a global narrative or system. How craft, in specific to Indigenous communities, is regarded in relation to design is a direct consequence of this, in which its validity and meaning is at the detriment to an oppressive system that invalidates the the value of local and cultural systems such as those that are present in Mozambique, alongside the regenerative ways of living and making (weaving) that compose human stories. The urgency lies in contesting cultural erasure and ethnic cleansing, in which cultural stories such as those taking place in Linga Linga have a valuable and much needed contribution to ancestral knowledge and its contribution to social, environmental and cultural justice.
