How Women Kept A 3,000-Year-Old Pottery Tradition Alive In Tunisia | Still Standing 

I love their clothing … it’s so beautiful. The dolls are stunning .

I always comes to this channel to chill, to listen to the narrator's voice is so peaceful!

Involving global customers into the art is a tremendous help to ensure the long-term survival of the tradition. If traditions are only regional and new generations don't appreciate them, they have no chance to be passed on and are lost completely. But with modern interpretations or traditional interpretations and a profit this has a better future. I like the idea that simple people who dedicate their lifes to handcraft have a competitive chance in the 21st century.

i honestly hope this series never comes to an end. i never seem to get tired of learning about these.

1:21 she never said "they refuse to work with clay and get their hands dirty." a better translation would be: "since the dawn of time this has been a woman's job."

Women are SO incredible - sending love to all sisters out there who love what they do and are sharing their skill and knowledge with younger generations. This video was so beautiful ....just natural processes....no plastic..just love

Beautiful women making even more beautiful pottery! Would love to buy a piece.

I'm so happy Jomma pushed the boundaries and made her beautiful art. Don't let people bind you into a box.

I''ve been a ceramicist for twenty years and this is the most inspirational thing I've ever seen.

I am glad that there is people that are keeping their art culture. Beautiful😍

Thank you 🙏 so much for the documentary. This is Nooralmalak from Tunisia 🇹🇳. These women definitely deserve recognition.

I would gladly buy some of her work over the internet, sadly I can't find anything

I loved how she is so proud of her daughter :)

Just increible, wonderful the continuation of tradition.

She is truly an artist..

Thank you for sharing their story

It always makes me so 💓 seeing so much I haven't seen before I'm in total amazement how much beautiful ppl, stories and art is waiting out there

Extremely fascinating, is a hard work to thats brave woman's, adorable.

Love it,very artistic 😍

May God be with you for your Creativity and love to your work

Не знаю почему у меня это вызвало слезы, это великолепное творчество люди вкладывают душу в скульптуры, они получаются добрыми благородным, это выражение не идолопоклонничества (если позиция Ислама строга к этому, вера в единого Бога у людей с рождения, а вера это не религия) это творчество, любое творчество начинается с созидания, это качество дано нам свыше и возможно одно из качеств отличающих нас от животных...это творчество больше выражение красоты и любви, когда человек способен в этом трудном мире видеть красоту... какая красивая девушка получилась изображенная с помощью глины...

7:49 those plates look amazing 💕 I'd pay good money to get them into my kitchen

Meltology at 7:54, most excellent. "Collateral" evidence.

Absolutely amazing work!

One doesn’t experience self transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates ~ 🎈

I know this has nothing to do with the story buttt...grandma is 80 looking 50 something! These ladies look great for their ages, even after working in the sun for decades

I love the pottery.

inspirational, Beautiful to see these amazing women creating together their craft with such rich heritage. The world needs more of this creativity, togetherness working with the land it is pure magic. I wish them well.

We are entering a world where we Weill have mass produced products, and beautiful, handmade, unique items. Many people find doing this work is far more satisfying, and people will always want beautiful, unique objects.

In America that would be known as, the big come up... More power to you

Nice video.

Very good ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

In the hood term literally “getting it out the mud”. Now that’s a real hustle

Theres places in japan too that specialize in pottery production. But its the opposite there. Only men make pottery and teach their sons, the women only dig the clay. Its very cultural. On the other hand im paying money to go to school and study ceramics in Canada, and we have a whole different culture too. Ceramics are an amazing field, especially from the point of view of culture. I dont think ive seen any other artform that has such a huge diversity of tradition and culture vitaly woven into it. You cant have a conversation about ceramics without having tradition be a huge part of it, even if were talking modern artist museum ceramics. The only other similar field that i think has this kind of complicated relationship between objects and art, is weaving and textile production. Unfortunately a lot of people still see this less as "art" though that is slowly changing. But it seems easier for people to accept ceramics as art than textiles as art.

Such style come from Minoan civilization, from the island of Crete. It shows how big spread of culture was even in 3000 BC!

How may we purchase some of their beautiful products?

6 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!! Keep up the good content, congrats :)

The pointed enneagon.

Her husband is unemployed but he cant even help his wife. He can collect the clay.

i need to know her daughter..she beautiful..no one talk about Rim.. 😁😁

If that woman was blond and had fancy clothes, she would be a world-renowned artist LMAO. Unlucky.

if they unemployed men don't want to touch the clay, maybe they should not touch the food it provides their households

How and where to buy this art ?

I HOPE!

Does this pottery have some Greek influence? The patterns and color look similar. Was it possible for Greek traders to interact with Tunisia 3000 years ago?

Those men can't say "women are afraid to get their hands dirty", they think pottery is a women job. Women can say say men are afraid to get their hands dirty.

Money is the issue that everyone has for a better and luxurious life.

Tunisia is a Amazigh country

YASS 👑👏🏿AFRICAN culture beauty art ✊🏿

Husband: Unemployed for quite sometimes Wife & Daughter: Carry the burden to find money for family Reason of men not doing pottery job: 1:18 Men firmly think that pottery is a job for women only Bravo Men of Tunisia for having this NONSENSE thought & shame on you for letting your wife and daughter to do all of the hard work just to ensure food are serve on the table 🙄🙄🙄

Wow

I'm glad they weren't taken advantage of

*I pray that everyone who sees this becomes successful in life!*

Who else came from snap stories because of the ads

Government muat support them ??

❤

I respect everyone who were involved in this Seriously the best piece that i ve ever seen on RU-vid 💌 Hate off to well all 💟 love your videos ❤

🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great Video Business Insider! Also Im first to comment :)

Hi

This art technique should be taught to others interested..maybe taught as an art in schools

quick qestion: what is a women?

younger generation .. tiktok generation

Men refuse to do pottery but they also refuse to do other kinds of work in order to earn money. A man that doesn't provide for his family is not a man,in my native România potters are mostly men!

People now adays aren't made for the work it took to live back then

And the man doesn't work. What does he do?

🥰🥰🥰🥰

the husband has the excuse of not helping to even carry the heavy clay sacks because it's a "job for women"

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until the women of the tribe of Daus would be seen going round Dhi al-Khalasa (for worship) and Dhi al-Khalasa is a place in Tabala, where there was a temple in which the people of the tribe of Daus used to worship the idol.

You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,10 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. Deuteronomy 5:8

I'm glad Aljia continues this tradition and let goes of the stupid ones like making her daughter wear traditional clothes and burka. The thing is we gotta keep our balance between traditional and modern values.

👍

حكم التماثيل التي توضع في البيت للزينة س: ما حكم التماثيل التي توضع في المنازل للزينة فقط وليس لعبادتها؟ ج: لا يجوز تعليق التصاوير ولا الحيوانات المحنطة في المنازل ولا في المكاتب ولا في المجالس؛ لعموم الأحاديث الثابتة عن رسول الله ﷺ الدالة على تحريم تعليق الصور وإقامة التماثيل في البيوت وغيرها؛ لأن ذلك وسيلة للشرك بالله، ولأن في ذلك مضاهاة لخلق الله وتشبها بأعداء الله، ولما في تعليق الحيوانات المحنطة من إضاعة المال والتشبه بأعداء الله وفتح الباب لتعليق التماثيل المصورة. وقد جاءت الشريعة الإسلامية الكاملة بسد الذرائع المفضية إلى الشرك أو المعاصي، وقد وقع الشرك في قوم نوح بأسباب تصوير خمسة من الصالحين في زمانهم، ونصب صورهم في مجالسهم، كما بين الله سبحانه ذلك في كتابه المبين حيث قال سبحانه: وَقَالُوا لا تَذَرُنَّ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَلا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلا سُوَاعًا وَلا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا كثيرا الآية [نوح:23-24] فوجب الحذر من مشابهة هؤلاء في عملهم المنكر الذي وقع بسببه الشرك. وقد صح عن رسول الله ﷺ أنه قال لعلي بن أبي طالب : ألا تدع صورة إلا طمستها، ولا قبرًا مشرفًا إلا سويته خرجه مسلم في صحيحه، وقال ﷺ: أشد الناس عذابا يوم القيامة المصورون متفق على صحته، والأحاديث في ذلك كثيرة، والله ولي التوفيق[1]. ابن باز

The way they squat on the ground looks terribly uncomfortable. Why not work at a table? They could stand or sit that would be less taxing on their knees and backs. I understand that tradition is important, I just don't quite understand why they would try to improve their working conditions with some changes that may even improve efficiency, but also just their work a bit easier.

Her husband who's been unemployed for a long time won't get his hands dirty??? Typical

Second lol

Not interested to listen

Everyday many people are receiving Islam. I suggest all to study about Islam deeply. It's true religion. 🌸

Telling the story of these artists, hopefully immortalizes this facet of the cultural heritage of the sejnane. What wonderful women! Such an intelligent way to make the art.

Boy, you'd think unemployed husband could at least help with collecting the clay.

Majority of the oldest surviving works of civilizations have been cave paintings and pottery. people don't appreciate the importance of these things until its too late so glad they try to retain and keep it going.

الله يعطيهن العافيه ويرزقهم. حرفة رائعة من تونس الجميلة.

I'm sure facotry work is also hard manual labor but I can't imagine it being as fulfilling as pottery making. Good for these women

Proud of my country’s women and the pieces of art they’re making 🇹🇳✌🏻

Please continue this series .... It's so beautiful .... It's so good to learn these things and the hardship they face...

"In investing what is comfortable is rarely profitable. "Never, ever argue with your trading system. "Amateurs think about how much money they can make. ... "The price of a commodity will never go to zero if not for the governments "It's not always easy to do what's not popular, but that's where you make your profit money.

I know they are seeking out younger generations from their culture to keep the craft alive but im a ceramic major im sure people in the us or anywhere would die to be a part of this. Some people love clay and getting their hands dirty

Absolutely beautiful works of art!

they did right by this women fr,having a piece sell for 7 CENTS its otterly ridiculous,Im glad shes able to make whats she worth.

Selling directly to customers really make a difference in income. I hope the pieces eventually earn enough to encourage more of the younger people to take up the craft.

Poorly translated some of the things these women said! Please give it more effort to do this job more accurately

Damn I need one of those doll sculptures

My sweet country Tunisia 🇹🇳

Isn’t it blasphemy to making idols in Arab? Isn’t it Haram in Islam?

The stories these women tell are beautiful. I hope the tradition stays alive. When I get a higher paying job I’ll probably buy some of their work 💕

Beautiful. Greetings from Sri Lanka!

Proud of our beautiful women and our multicolor country 🇹🇳🕊️
