What you can expect

  • Immerse yourself in a world of creation, tradition, and symbolism by participating in the Adinkra Workshop, a unique experience in the heart of Grand-Bassam.

    For two hours, you will be introduced to an ancestral technique of West African origin: the art of batik, made by hand with engraved wooden blocks, hot wax, and dyes. The opportunity to learn the techniques of a craft passed down from generation to generation.

    Beyond the technique, this workshop is a gateway to the richness of Adinkra symbols, which convey universal messages such as freedom, wisdom, and resilience. Each participant chooses the symbols that resonate with their storey or current intentions to create a personalised and meaningful fabric.

    The activity is suitable for everyone, including children, and is experienced as a moment of sharing, concentration, and discovery. At the end of the workshop, your creation is left to dry for about an hour. This free time can be an opportunity to have a bite to eat, enjoy a drink, or stroll through the historic streets of Bassam.

    You will leave with a unique loincloth that is both aesthetic and deeply personal. A great way to combine creativity, cultural memory, and emotion.
