Folk Arts

Folk arts refer to traditional crafts, music, dance, and narratives that are created and passed down within a community or culture. They reflect the values, beliefs, and daily life of the people who produce them. Examples include handwoven textiles, pottery, local music styles, and folk tales. Folk arts are often created for everyday use or celebrations and are characterized by their cultural significance rather than commercial value. They play a crucial role in preserving cultural identity and fostering community ties, often being shared during festivals and gatherings.
