The slow characteristic of the traditional craft techniques promotes intercultural dialogue, by allowing for an exchange of stories and ideas between artisans and partici... pants - a step towards cross-cultural understanding in our global world. Wanderful Tribe was founded by Suzanne Balima, an Innovation Designer. Her passion for travel, her deep love for the African continent, and her burning desire to halt the declining knowledge of traditional crafts inspired her to create new opportunities around traditional crafts. Wanderful Tribe seeks to keep indigenous African cultures alive by sharing stories about the cultural and historical value held by various traditional crafts - the intangible. We connect the heritage of the past by sharing cultural stories surrounding the craft, in our blog posts. We connect our heritage to the present by linking each craft with various African designers who are keeping the craft alive by adding their modern twist to it! Traditionally handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, traditional crafts are a result of thousands of years of cultural heritage through stories, knowledge, and know-how. Traditional crafts take you back to the roots of a culture. In a way, craft is a tool to connect the heritage of the past with our present. craft requires everything to slow down, and inspires creativity by enabling us to make something by ourselves. In addition to our blog & marketplace, we also offer on-demand curated travel experiences for those who seek a full cultural immersion. We invite you to come and discover Africa with us through the eyes of locals, and through the lens of tradition.Read More
