Rwandan Crafts
Rwandan crafts are a vibrant expression of the country's rich cultural heritage. Artisans create beautiful items using traditional techniques, including weaving, pottery, and wood carving. Notable crafts include Imigongo, a unique form of art made from cow dung, and intricately woven baskets known as Agaseke, which are often used for storage and decoration.
These crafts not only serve practical purposes but also play a significant role in Rwandan identity and community. Many artisans are part of cooperatives, promoting economic empowerment and preserving cultural traditions. The sale of these crafts supports local economies and helps sustain the livelihoods of many families across Rwanda.
