About this title

From the Back Cover

From a local tradition coming out of a small historical world, to a tradition involved in a vast queer-worling of making, 'The Last Basket Makers from Risa' refers to a lineage of artisans producing the enigmatic Hedared basket – from Lennart, the basket's first "last maker" – to Lennart's great-grandson, Fahdel Mourali. This is his report on an open-ended process of indentifying and crafting the material of kinship.
