Oya

The unique art of Anatolian women

Gülbiye, the only woman in the village farming silkworms for the purpose of producing silk thread, teaches her granddaughter Ada about silkworm farming and the oya rituals through tales, while an oya collector embarks on a journey to discover the story behind one of his favorite oya. The story introduces to us oya's, which were once the voice of oppressed women but later became a source of empowerment by allowing women to achieve economic independence.
