                    Batik, a traditional wax-resist dyeing technique, has been practiced for centuries across various African cultures, each imbuing the craft with its own distinct flair and symbolism. From Ghana to Nigeria, from Mali to Kenya, the art of batik holds a special place in the hearts of artisans and communities, passed down through generations as a cherished tradition.
