The photo from December

Redazione BnD . 01/12/2023 . Reading time: 1 minute

The image captures the mastery of the hands of an African woman who skillfully and delicately weaves palm leaves to create a “nat”, a beautiful carpet woven with natural fibres. The woman’s expert hands move with precision, transforming the leaves into an intricate pattern that reflects the rich artisan tradition of the Sahara and Sahel cultures. The scene conveys not only the technical mastery of weaving, but also the profound connection with nature and culture rooted in the daily life of many African communities. The end result, the “nat”, is more than just an artifact; it is a tangible expression of history, passed-down craftsmanship, and the intrinsic connection between the community and the natural resources that surround it.
