Project summary
This project protected and preserved the intangible cultural heritage practices of traditional Yemeni needle work and embroidery. This intangible cultural skill was at risk of deterioration due to displacement of communities, lack of resources and increased cost of materials.
Through training and skills development, cataloguing and databasing, the project safeguarded pieces of embroidery and the skills to create them for future generations.
