Film on the preservation of Tuareg culture through craftsmanship.

As modernization and globalization threaten the extinction of their craftsmanship, discover the untold story of Tuareg artisans from Timbuktu, Mali as we witness a timeless journey of resilience and beauty. Unveiling the intricate artistry passed through generations, this film navigates the delicate balance between tradition and progress. Follow the artisan collective, Association Timidwa's, mission to safeguard their culture, preserving not just jewelry but a way of life.

In a world that is rapidly evolving, we find ourselves at a crucial stage in our mission to safeguard the traditions that define us. Our artisan team, the custodians of centuries-old skills, are on a quest to share our story with a global audience. We are excited to present a first of its kind, "The Art of Friendship" documentary showcasing the artistic process and artisans of Association Timidwa. Through this visual representation we embark on a journey, to increase awareness and reach of Association Timidwa and its commitment to safeguarding a cultural legacy for generations to come.
