The story

Amerindian Craft and Cuisine Exhibition in Georgetown

A closing-days-of-September trade and cultural exhibition at Georgetown's Sophia Exhibition Complex, where Amerindian artisans and cooks from across Guyana sell traditional crafts and foods such as cassava bread, pepperpot and casiri as part of Amerindian Heritage Month, giving interior producers direct access to capital-city buyers.

Rows of tables at the Sophia Exhibition Complex in Georgetown fill with handwoven baskets, clay pottery, feathered headdresses and beadwork in the closing days of September, when Guyana's Ministry of Amerindian Affairs holds its annual Craft and Cuisine Exhibition.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The exhibition functions as a genuine marketplace rather than a display, with exhibitors from remote villages in Regions One, Three, Five and Nine using the few days in the capital to sell goods and earn income directly, distinguishing it from the more performance-oriented opening extravaganza held earlier in the month and giving artisans a concentrated commercial window they would not otherwise get so close to Georgetown's larger customer base, with organizers explicitly citing business growth as a stated goal of the exhibition
