Field notes
Qala’s homepage frames its work as direct documentation with master artisans, emphasizing forms of knowledge that may not be captured by finished objects alone. It names metal, terracotta, and woodcarving, and includes workshop acoustics among the material it says it records. The extracted page links to “Explore stories,” but does not include a sample story or detail the project’s current archive.
