The restoration of our connection with the environment, the land, and the resources is achieved through the use of local knowledge, within a contemporary approach that redraws the lines through which resources flow and rewoven layers in which this buried local knowledge is interlaced. Perhaps, in this way, there will no longer be a single exclusive source, but rather our knowledge will lead us to other sources, where the material takes on new forms and manifestations. crafts have served as a fundamental source for studying the history of cultures, their housing patterns, and their methods of utilizing resources within their geographical boundaries. Therefore, crafts must play an active role today, producing a base of local knowledge capable of resisting the current cultural struggle. The project focuses on the neighborhood of halisa in Haifa, aiming to draw inspiration from the role of crafts in building a cohesive social fabric and cultural identity, transforming them from mere material products into a participatory process that reconnects social and cultural bonds. Here, the project does not focus on the product of the crafts as much as on their process, as a tool for redirecting the flow of resources and knowledge among people and place, and for creating new pathways of belonging.
