These are creepy days. Once in a while, however, you hear the news that excites you; that gives you hope that we just may get there.
That was exactly how I felt when I learnt first-hand that a festival of traditional textiles was in the offing in Wa. Wao!
‘My readers will love this.’ This was the first notion that came to my mind.
In Ghana, festivals are vibrant gatherings that are celebrated across communities. And for me, if they commemorate the craft and livelihood of a people, the better. This is where Woori Weaving Festival comes in. First of its kind, the event takes place during the last week of February, specifically the 26th to the 28th.
