Cultures, and Brilliance
------------------------------------------------------------
...where every handmade item tells a story
This holiday season, Cultural Survival is excited to expand its programming into two new locations, featuring arts, music, dance, performances, food, workshops, and speakers.
Celebrate this annual event, which honors Indigenous talent and traditions through handmade art, demonstrations, music, and dance. We invite you to visit and shop Cultural Survivals Bazaars, where you will find one-of-a-kind Indigenous, handmade, and traditional jewelry, clothing, accessories, housewares, paintings, sculptures, Palestinian blown glass, and more from artists and cooperatives from more than 20 countries spanning across 6 continents.
The Cultural Survival Bazaars will feature 50+ artists and community representatives, including Wampum maker Robert DeGaetano ([link removed]) (Mashpee Wampanoag) from the USA, textile weaver Marilu Fernandez ([link removed]) (Quechua) from Peru, and nomadic artist Saoudata Walet Aboubacrine ([link removed]) (Kel Tamashek) from Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.
