Have you ever seen fabric woven using the body as a loom?

In Dali Village, Guizhou, Dong band weaving is a centuries-old craft. Using only a backstrap loom and a bamboo knife, artisans create intricate patterns by hand. These vibrant bands wrap newborns, adorn hair and waists, and carry the warmth of family and the memories of generations.
