Craft Design Exchanges

Craft and Design have always been intertwined like wrap and weft. However, in the last couple of decades the market inclination had skewed towards designers, reducing artisans to manufacturers or suppliers. We want to show the power of equitable artisan-designer partnerships…

Creative Dignity is a movement that has brought together diverse creative producers, practitioners, and professionals to energize the ecosystem that Indian artisans need in this time of COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 impact. We envision a world where artisans have the agency to thrive with dignity.
