This year, Ghana’s Kente fabric was highlighted for its decades-long craftsmanship and its immovable impact on Ghanaian culture.

The Kente fabric is known for its colorful horizontal lines and ability to tell a story and embody the history of the Ghanaian people. 

Each year, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) champions the preservation of living cultural traditions through its Intangible Cultural Heritage List.

Launched in 2009, the initiative safeguards traditions and practices at risk of disappearing from public consciousness.

We spoke to Christopher Wetcher, Programmes Officer for Culture at Ghana's Commission on UNESCO.
