Via Craftunbound by Kevin Murray Jun 12th, 2009, Polly&me – masterpieces in idle chatter from Pakistan
‘GupShup’ means chit chat in Urdu and Hindi. It was the title of an exhibition by Polly&me, a group working on an embroidery project involving women in Chitral, in the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. The results of their workshops were displayed at an exhibition in Islamabad, where most of the works were sold.

Polly&me was developed by Cath Braid, an Australian who originally started work in northern Pakistan with Kirsten Ainsworth as part of the clothing label Caravana …. Cath has been working in Chitral since 2003. This town in the north-west frontier of Pakistan, near Afghanistan has been known popularly as the Hindu Kush. Populated by the Kho people, fond of playing polo, the region is synonymous with fundamentalist terrorism in the Western mind.
Cath has been working with the AKRSP (Aga Khan Rural Support Program) to assist women’s development.
