Festival Heritage and crafts Homs and Al-Mushrifa, Syria 13–20 April 2026

Tangible Heritage Week in Homs

A cultural week devoted to crafts, conservation practices and the material heritage of Homs through exhibitions, talks, photography and a visit to ancient Qatna.

Traditional crafts displayed during Tangible Heritage Week in Homs in 2026

Tangible Heritage Week, held in Homs from 13 to 20 April 2026, offered a living reading of the objects, skills and sites that shape the cultural memory of the region.

Crafts and knowledge

The opening exhibition featured glass painting, Ajami decoration, traditional weaving, straw trays, embroidery, woodworking, beadwork, crochet and textile production. These practices were presented as social and economic skills as much as aesthetic forms.

From exhibition to territory

The programme combined talks, discussions, a photography competition and a field visit to ancient Qatna, now Al-Mushrifa. This connected objects and techniques to the history of places, archaeology and contemporary community life.

Planning a visit

The 2026 edition took place in spaces run by the Homs Directorate of Culture and through outdoor activities. Any future edition should be confirmed directly with the organising institution.
