Watch some of the visionary Saudi women whose hands and hearts have carried the Sadu craft through generations, where women gathered to weave, sing, and share stories, creating a social and artistic practice reinforcing community bonds, where each thread weaves tales of resilience, community, and the beauty of heritage.

Hala Alghamdi started her journey in the business world 21 years ago, where she worked as a graphic designer. Moving to art and embroidery was the beginning of her attachment to the world of threads, where she found her passion for traditional weaving techniques.
