ARTISANS OF PERU
In the remote Bolgatanga region of Ghana lives a group of weavers, men and women of all ages, who are working to preserve the ancestral craft of basket weaving they learned from the generations who have gone before them. Working with the elephant grass that’s native to their area, the Artisans of Bolgatanga not only keep this weaving tradition alive – they’re dependent on it for their livelihoods.
