Emirati Craftsmanship Shines at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai with Live Heritage Workshops
The United Arab Emirates Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai is drawing visitors into the heart of Emirati heritage through live workshops showcasing traditional crafts, led by elite artisans from Bait Al Harifeen (House of Artisans). Now in its fourth day, the pavilion has come alive with hands-on sessions in Al Sadu weaving—focusing on the intricate Maghzal (spindle) technique—alongside Talli (braiding) and Khous (palm frond weaving). Visitors not only witness these time-honored practices but also create their own craft-inspired souvenirs, including Talli medals, miniature spindles, and Khous bookmarks. These workshops, guided by revered Emirati craftswomen known as the Mothers of the Emirates, offer an authentic experience rooted in the desert's cultural legacy. Their presence is more than a demonstration—it's a living bridge between past and future, preserving artisanal skills passed down through generations. The pavilion also features striking heritage-inspired installations crafted by Bait Al Harifeen , such as a large Al Sadu piece integrated into the Healthcare section, and a symbolic rocket model in the space exploration zone. Both works exemplify the fusion of tradition and innovation. The live heritage workshops will continue until April 19, reflecting the UAE's commitment to sharing its cultural identity in ways that are interactive, immersive, and forward-looking.
