Information:
The
bendula at the Senegambia Craft Market was founded in the early
1980s and has 64 appointed stalls a well as others nearby. The
overall visual atmosphere is a little dark.
The items are sourced in The
Gambia and made locally. There are a wide range of art and craft
for sale such as tie dye bags, hats, wooden carved masks,
gourds, silver jewellery, numerous variations of drums, leather
wallets and sandals and chains.
The Association was founded to stand for the economic
interests of its members and to be act as an agent between the
members and other organisations. It also examines avenues for
exporting its members products during the low season.
One
of the codes of conduct is that members should not hassle
tourists and anyone found doing so could be suspended for 2
weeks. Another code says that Bumsters are not allowed in the
craft market with tourists - they should wait outside.
