Description
In this workshop, Hooyo Jama will teach basket-weaving techniques using recycled materials as a way to continue this important centuries-old practice, using contemporary materials. The basket-weaving practice is typically a very important aspect of womanhood in Somalia. Each region has its own speciality and it is regarded as an artistic form of expression. This workshop is open to all ages.
