In many cultures and communities, weaving is a craft practised only by women. But that doesn’t mean men can’t learn how to do it, or even make a living from it.

Shahrizan Juin, 28, is one such person. Hailing from Keningau, Sabah, Shahrizan claims to be “one of the only male weavers” in the district, and is proud of it. He has been weaving since he was 10.
