Artists such as Shihab el Din, a Sudanese artist, will have photos on exhibit which originate from his work as a photo journalist. Khalid, another Sudanese, is exhibiting his sculpted leather pieces. There are also paintings from Tanzania. The exhibition should continue until the 25th. Nowadays, incense is widely used in Yemen especially in Hodeida, Sanaa and Taiz.
People consider incense as quite important in their lives.
They buy it with considerable sums of money from people in Aden and Lahaj who still make and sell incense to all other parts of the country. In Aden and Lahaj, women perfume their bodies with incense after anointing with Palmolive oil. They also incense their clothes by putting live coals into a censer and letting smoke permeate through the clothes. They do this for 2 or 3 hours and later they take the clothes and spray them with perfume. They wear the scented clothes when they visit friends or attend parties or wedding ceremonies.
