In India, within the rural and semi-urban context, crafts are a way of life and an integral part of the lifestyle. Craft Bazar or haat or craft mela are the common sightings in such a context. But within the urban context, the craft has to redefine itself. In the recent decade, crafts are bringing a new wave of creating a material culture and emerging as a collaborative and sustainable practice. It is time to celebrate this emergence of crafts, globally as well as within India, by bringing them to the public domain.
This studio was an attempt to know, understand, and represent the traditional and contemporary craft practice in the format of the public display. It’s time to bring the essence of the festive spirits of crafts within urban life and its interiors. The interesting part of the studio was that students were able to evolve their own context. This multidisciplinary studio was an amalgamation of crafts, graphic design, environmental graphics and exhibition design.
In order to understand the various nuances of crafts, various experts as well as craftspeople were invited for interactions and presentations throughout the semester. The representation was in a narrative style drawing references from various traditional art and crafts forms.
