Artisanal crafts are mirrors of cultural diversity, serving as repositories of vast accumulations of traditional knowledge and experience. In them is the transference of a people’s energy, history, and spiritual outlook.
Although the world is experiencing a cultural homogenization, there is a parallel tendency to appreciate cultural diversity and richness of each cultural tradition. Hade Alem exists to honor cultural histories and the timeless heritage they carry. Through our work, we hope to elicit an appreciation and sentimentality for the beauty found in other cultures.
