Where to, kuwait?

interested in Kuwait's culture ?

Kuwait's bait AL sadu is a very interesting place that i didn't know we had ! it brings back Kuwait's history and makes us relive our grandparents lifestyle there. they provide weaving classes and workshops and art and craft shops, how cool is that ! there is also a library with loots of books and databases on the rich textile and weaving traditions. its a really intresting place to see and a wonderful experience i would recommend.

Al Sadu Society is dedicated to preserving, documenting and promoting the rich and diverse textile heritage of the Kuwaiti Bedouin, from the nomadic weaving of the desert through to the urban weaving of the town. they celebrate the values of productivity and creativity of the nation’s past generation, weaving together a cultural identity for both present and future generations.
Begun in 1978, as a private initiative, by a group of concerned Kuwaitis who wished to preserve a fast disappearing, yet intrinsic, cultural identity, the Al Sadu Project was founded.
In 1991, soon after the liberation of Kuwait, the Sadu Project was transformed into Al Sadu Weaving Co-operative Society. This is a venture owned and run by the weavers and artisans themselves, with all profits going to these, the shareholders. The Society is managed by members of a board of shareholders and an advisory committee headed by the Patron, honorary president Sheikha Altaf Al-Sabah.

Their goals are :

1-To preserve and document Kuwait’s textile and weaving inheritance for posterity
Promote the intangible values of integrity, creativity, and innovation of the past generations, as demonstrated in the techniques and processes of traditional textile production.

2-Be an educational and resource center providing programs, workshops, and research materials on techniques and designs for schools, students, researchers, artists, and cultural organizations

3-To reach out to and serve local artisans through educational materials and training programs

4-Revitalize the production and development of traditional handmade textiles

5-Provide a relaxing and recreational facility for the public.
