Al-Arab highlights the Jameel House of Traditional Arts in Cairo for its revival of heritage crafts in Egypt.
Focusing on the programme’s human impact, the article looks at how the Jameel House in Cairo provides opportunities to women who face difficulties learning traditional arts.
Noha El-Qahwagy, head of the Jameel House in Cairo’s copper and metals department, explains: “Copper is an authentic material that has always been associated with our homes.
“I had been trying to find a way to learn this craft since school, but most workshops refused to train women. I searched for a long time until I found the right environment at the Jameel House.”
