- Azizi Life - Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the craftsmen and receive an introduction to the history of Imigongo Art. Then, you’ll begin crafting your piece by preparing the base with a blend of soil and bovine excrement!
When it’s time for lunch, you’ll enjoy a modest meal with your artisan instructor, with ample opportunity for conversation and cultural exchange. Post-lunch, you’ll return to your artwork, focusing on smoothing and coloring it. Spending time with the artisan is delightful, and it’s guaranteed that your collaboration will be filled with shared laughter.
