Artisanship, the thread that connects the women of the Mediterranean

الصورة
women artisans

Artisanship as a connecting thread between Mediterranean women, but also as an opportunity to express creativity: one joint project of two non-governmental and non-profit organizations, AMAD from Albania and NAHNOO from Lebanon brings together Albanian and Lebanese women.

Within the Network Engagement Scheme II, with the financial support of the Anna Lindh Foundation, member organizations of the Albanian and Lebanese ALF Networks produced a video featuring the women artisans and their experiences, more similar than different.

This initiative simultaneously served as a way to convey the art, culture, values ​​of the tradition that in addition to the features of national identity, have elements that unite us in human values. Artisans of both countries see the handiwork as a source of income, but also as an activity through which find inner peace, especially for women who are of retirement age.

The video was released on International Women's Day, March 8th , to promote and celebrate the values ​​of artisan women, the protagonists of the said video.

General Information
Depuis sa création en 2000, Chrysalide se consacre au soutien, à la promotion et à la diffusion des dif¬férents arts. Créée et dirigée encore aujourd’hui par des auteurs et réalisateurs, elle constitue pour eux un moyen de se concerter et de se doter de structures susceptibles de les aider dans leurs démarches. Chrysalide défend du point de vue de la création, la recherche sur des axes multidisciplinaires en mêlant cinéma, théâtre et arts plastiques. Elle entend encourager, plus particulièrement, les démarches d’écriture et de création contemporaines, les installations et l’art vidéo, sans perdre de vue les approches pédagogiques. C’est ainsi que s’est imposée l’idée de mettre en place un espace d’échange et de formation pour artistes créateurs. Un tel espace, proposé en une attitude ouverte, à des artistes, permettrait de libérer des savoir-faire et des talents, tout en ouvrant des pistes de réflexion multiples sur l’art contemporain en Algérie et dans le monde.
Mission and Objectives

Chrysalide souhaite accompagner les auteurs, réalisateurs, plasticiens Algériens dans leur travail d’artistes.
Ceux-ci, en résidence dans le pays profond, mêlés à d’autres artistes de régions et de pays divers, confrontés aux réalités politiques, sociales et culturelles du monde, seront à même de libérer leur imagination et de poser là, une proposition artistique d’excellence
Un espace de formation et d’échanges excentré est avant tout un lieu de « méditation ». Il ne peut que s’avérer fructueux de placer un artiste dans cette forme d’isolement propice au travail et à la réflexion.
Enfin, Chrysalide souhaite développer, à travers ces chantiers, un vaste réseau de partenaires nationaux et internationaux.
