Abstract

“Amouddou” evokes a nomadic life in which three caves are enough to lead a life marked by domestic work. The first cave is for family use, the other two are a shelter for livestock. This episode focuses on different activities of these extraordinary lives. In the narrow space of the cave, women work and do chores; they also do their traditional weaving of “Astta” (Carpet or silk covers). The nomadic lifestyle is ancestral.
