Naâma hosts exhibition celebrating traditional basketry and alfa products

The Artisan and Trades House in Naâma province opened an exhibition on Monday showcasing traditional basketry and alfa-based products, featuring five artisans from the region and across the country. Held to mark the 72nd anniversary of the start of the War of National Liberation, the event offers visitors a chance to explore handmade carpets, utensils, and decorative items made from alfa grass, doum fibers, and palm leaves. The four-day initiative aims to preserve these artisanal techniques, which are central to the national heritage but face pressure from modern market products. Additionally, the event features a photo gallery highlighting efforts to mentor new artisans and ensure the survival of these traditional crafts.
