!Let’s create an impact together!
Gunoboti; an architect-led team is using craft and artistry to bring back our 1000 year old traditions that can potentially save our planet! For generations, families in Rishipara have handcrafted bamboo kitchenware, but today, they struggle to find a market for their work. Through Gunoboti, we are bringing their timeless craft to the urban market. Gunoboti is more than a brand—it is a movement. Rooted in Bangladesh’s rich heritage and culture, we are a design cultivation community dedicated to empowering traditional artisans, craft enthusiasts, and trained designers. Through knowledge-sharing and product innovation, we ensure that our crafts and artisans thrive in today’s world. Handicrafts are not just decorative pieces but a part of our daily lives. It's high time we embrace them as functional items. Our mission is to safeguard traditional knowledge and practices, honour the cultural creativity of Bangladeshi women, and ensure financial inclusion—essential for sustainability and our deep connection with nature.

Why This Exhibition?
This exhibition marks a pivotal moment in Gunoboti’s journey. With the vision of establishing Gunoboti as a Bangladeshi lifestyle brand, we are proud to officially introduce 'Rannaghorer Onushongo'—our inaugural bamboo kitchenware product line. These products, crafted meticulously by artisans from Faridpur Rishipara (an artisan community), pay homage to our rich heritage. It’s really fascinating that similar products are used across Bangladesh, each with contextually different names, techniques, and materials.
Through this exhibition, we will connect environmentally conscious and culturally aware individuals with our work to safeguard cultural practices. Your presence will support artisans in Rishipara, provide training for new-generation craft makers, and establish a lasting urban market presence.
We must act now to safeguard our cultural practices, traditions, and nature. This exhibition is our first grand step toward change. Together, we can create opportunities for artisans, redefine craft’s place in modern life, and build a sustainable future.
