Cléa Daridan: Atelier Jameel’s vision of empowering artisans and showcasing traditional crafts

Following the 2024 Atelier Jameel winter exhibition in Cairo, Cléa Daridan talks to Caravel about Atelier Jameel’s mission to sustain traditional arts. “Through the Jameel Houses in Cairo, Jeddah and Scotland, Community Jameel is committed to reinvigorating traditional Islamic arts otherwise at risk of loss. In turn, alumni move on to contribute to the practice, teaching and research around traditional arts, leading to artistic and personal growth. Many of them are now part of Atelier Jameel.”
