The first phase of The project Gashful has come to an end. With an investigative mindset, the project team has hosted a workshop on story collection. With that particular skill set the assistants went to the field. They have identified that life is not what it seems from a linear angle. It is full of curves, colors and most importantly stories.

The Project Ghasful team has adopted the method of anthropological observation. To visit and collect stories from the natural habitat of the samples. This not only enabled us to have a greater perspective of an individual's work, but at the same time it allowed the team to understand the complexity of the socio-economic reality of the northeastern region of Bangladesh.

We have entered our second phase and we are excited to learn, understand and evolve.
