CULTURE & TRADITION

Culture is characterized by the beliefs, mores, ceremonies, accepted practices and behaviour of a particular social, ethnic, or age group. It is modified over time with the exigencies of society and economy as it is passed on as heritage from one generation to another.

Tradition is the handing down by word of mouth, record or practice the learned customs, beliefs and practices of forebears, legends, and information for survival, preservation of society and habitat, ceremony and decorum from generation to generation.

The designs and production processes of NAYAK AFRIK are beautiful expressions of expert artisans and the colourful culture and tradition of Ghana.
