According to IMNA News Agency from Mazandaran, coinciding with the presence of a group of foreign journalists and influencers in the fields of travel and tourism in the village of Shaneh Tarash, the construction of a symbolic statue (‘Wooden Comb’ statue) of the village began by prominent artists and sculptors of the country.
This statue is designed and being executed inspired by the historical background and cultural identity of the people of Shaneh Tarash in the field of making wooden combs and related handicrafts. In this work, the “Wooden Comb” is considered as the cultural symbol of Shaneh Tarash Village, and on the base of the statue, a collection of local activities, traditional occupations, and the most prominent cultural, natural, and livelihood capacities of the village are symbolically represented.
The stages of construction of this artwork were displayed live in the presence of the tour participants and, in the form of an Art & Tourism Event, were well received by media and tourism activists.
This statue is planned to be installed in the public space of the village as a cultural symbol of Shaneh Tarash Village and, as part of the visual and tourism identity of the destination, will serve to introduce the historical background and diverse cultural and economic capacities of the region.
A group of prominent artists and sculptors of the country are participating in the execution of this project. The village of Shaneh Tarash, which is known for its special interest in visual arts and art tourism, has always hosted artists and creative events, and this feature has become one of its important tourism attractions.
Holding this Art & Tourism Event alongside the media tour is considered part of the program to introduce Shaneh Tarash as one of the prominent options among tourism villages and international rural tourism dossiers.
