These entirely and exclusively hand made potteries by Sejnene women,
created from natural products including clay, are a source of pride for
Tunisia. Unfortunately, the isolated region, in addition to the difficulty
for these women to market their products, jeopardizes the survival of
this traditional know-how.
S
ejnenia NGO has committed
since
2012
to
economically
galvanise this region through the
development and the promotion of
pottery art. This Sejnene potters’
economic interest group currently
brings together some forty potters,
and empowers each one of them
with a real marketing strategy and a
showcase of their pottery.
This unique and ancestral art is in
the process of being internationally
recognised, through its application
file, on the Representative List of
UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
of Humanity, presented on 31 March
of this year. A success that will enable
all these women to live with pride and
dignity. I
