About event
The jewel played a very important role in history. Women, but also men, have adorned since time immemorial., As evidenced by archaeological findings around the world. Not different in North Africa.
jewelry is the flagship of the Kabyl art craft and are renowned in North Africa because of their live color and refinement. If all jewelry from North Africa are currently made of silver, corals from the Mediterranean and colored emails are also decorated. The origin of this unique decoration of the Kabyl jewelry remains indefinite. It is likely that these techniques were brought to Spain by vandals and Visigothy and disappeared during the Arab invasion. After rediscovery, the e -mail technique has finally settled in Muslim Spain. Later, after the Reconquista of the Spanish Peninsula by Christian Kingdoms, a number of craftsmen went to Tunisia, Morocco and Kabylia in Algeria, where they brought these ways of jewelry production. The Kabyl jewelry is characterized by mixing of Berber culture (form and use) and Andalusian culture (color thanks to emails). The village of ATH Yenni has become the main center of this artistic craft since the XV. century. For generations, jewelry has been inherited from mother to daughter and everyone has its own symbolism and meaning. You will be able to learn more at the exhibition, during the lecture and during the discussion with art jewelery Mádadadadadaded, which you are cordially invited to.
