The Symbolic Marks on Traditional Crafts in the Ahaggar Region. A Heritage Between Loss, Transmission, and Valorization An Artistic Reading

Throughout history, nations have been measured by their diverse civilizational manifestations, including that deeply rooted heritage. The Amazigh society in general, and the Imuhagh (Tuareg)* in particular, have left us a rich and diverse legacy composed of various artistic expressions from one region to another. This diversity has attracted the attention of researchers and enthusiasts of Amazigh culture across different disciplines. Our choice of this topic is an attempt to highlight the social and economic values and functions through the use of various symbols on different materialssymbols that carry meanings and aesthetic values reflecting the level of creativity achieved by the Tuareg people in the Ahaggar region. This development and flourishing would not have been possible without an openness to other cultures. The Tuareg artist embodied his imagination in traditional crafts, creating a distinctive artistic style that set him apart from others.
