The Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (Baca) has launched a new initiative aimed at promoting unique crafts and artisans in the kingdom with the aim of highlighting locally-made products and their heritage.
The social media drive is set to make stars of the artisans who are keeping Bahraini traditions alive . with plans to make them tutors for the community in the future.
“The page will not only shed light on the different crafts but highlight the individual craftsmen and artisans – so you know who has made the item you are buying and how,” said Shaikha Hala bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, Baca’s director-general of arts and culture.
