Arts, Culture & Craftsmanship Showcase
Our platform serves as a hub for promoting and advocating the richness of Hausa arts, culture, and craftsmanship. We will highlight traditional skills such as weaving, leatherwork, pottery, calabash carving, blacksmithing, and textile design, alongside music, dance, and culinary heritage. Our showcases, exhibitions and curations will create knowledge and awareness, documenting the history, techniques, and symbolic meanings behind traditional practices. By positioning Hausa creativity within the wider creative economy, the platform will help generate financial value for artisans and cultural entrepreneurs; supporting livelihoods, encouraging trade, and attracting cultural tourism. In doing so, Mohart Heritage not only preserves traditions but also transforms them into tools for education, innovation, and sustainable economic growth.
Expanding Interest, Knowledge & Education
Incorporating cultural elements into digital education and advocacy creates enduring learning experiences and foster a deeper understanding of historical context. Launching digital platforms to provide credible information to individuals looking to learn about the Hausa cultural heritage and its complexities is an integral way of promoting interests, creating awareness, and in bridging tribal and social gaps.
Art & Culture as tools to Advance our Creative Economy
There is an emerging creative economy that thrives on cultural innovation that we leverage on by showcasing the diverse heritage of the Hausa society through its arts and crafts, textiles, music genres and its instruments, food culture and so on. We aim to drive traction towards promotion of cultural relics and creative handicrafts, and by extension help improve the local economy through trade and tourism.
