Sandouk Alhakaya

The Sandouk Alhakaya Collective, established in Damascus in 2014, focuses on exploring, preserving, and revitalizing Syria's intangible heritage through oral tradition and traditional printing. It comprises a Folktales Workshop and a Design & Printing Workshop.
The Folktales Workshop collects folk tales from across Syria, using them to create interactive activities for all ages and to generate knowledge around this cultural heritage genre and its local characteristics.
Meanwhile the Design and Printing Workshop develops contemporary visual motifs and uses traditional techniques like stamping and silkscreen to create textile and paper products.
