One of the coolest souvenirs you can pick up in ghana are hand made glass beads. The study was an attempt to investigate the decline of glass beadmaking in ashanti.
Ghana S Incredible Bead Culture Dwell
Its 250 miles long and covers 3283 square miles or 36 percent of ghanas area.
Which area of ghana is known for bead making. Although trendy african women have traditionally worn these beads as a symbol of femininity and prosperity for centuries. Near the slum called old fadama the agbogbloshie site became known as a destination for externally generated automobile and electronic scrap collected from mostly the western world. The currency unit in ghana is called the cedi.
Agbogbloshie is a nickname of a commercial district on the korle lagoon of the odaw river near the center of accra ghanas capital city. You can find them in villages around the country but the center of production is koforidua. Ghana was ranked as africas most peaceful country by the global peace index.
Kumasi which is alternatively known as the garden city because of its many beautiful species of flowers and plants seems to be competing with accra in terms of population activity and beauty. We werent able to make it to this towns apparently incredible new juaben bead market which takes place every day except sunday but we did find a small factory near. It is among the largest metropolitan areas of ghana.
This glass beadmaking tradition which forms a significant part of ghanas cultural heritage seems to be fast declining. Bead heritage and powder glass beadmaking arts of ashanti have evolved over several centuries. Ghana n e officially the republic of ghana is a country along the gulf of guinea and the atlantic ocean in the subregion of west africaspanning a land mass of 238535 km 2 92099 sq mi ghana is bordered by the ivory coast in the west burkina faso in the north togo in the east the gulf of guinea and the atlantic ocean in the south.
Lake volta in the volta region of the country is the worlds largest man made lake. Kumasi on the other hand is a city in the ashanti region of southern ghana. The history of waist beads can be traced back as early as the 15th century.
These pieces stem from various areas of the diaspora ranging from ghanas dipo ceremonies to nigerias yoruba tribe and those in between.
