Al-Meklium Program Promotes Traditional Crafts at Jerash
The Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts highlights Jordanian traditional crafts through the program "Al-Mekeleom... Bringing It Back to Life," which runs for 11 days at the Majloma Square in the ancient city of Jerash. The program aims to revive the historical heritage of Mekheleom, the ancient Roman marketplace in the city, through interactive workshops in jewelry making, wood grafting, stone carving, and copper engraving. Additionally, there is a participatory textile project involving visitors, culminating in a collective work. The program features artisans and cultural institutions from Jordan and emphasizes that traditional crafts are not just a bygone legacy but a living practice renewed through creativity and participation. Its goal is to strengthen the public's connection to Jordanian cultural heritage and preserve it using contemporary methods.
