Discover global craft practices that work in symbiosis with nature in this new exhibition at the Crafts Council Gallery.
About
Curated by Ligaya Salazar, Gaining Ground foregrounds global craft practices that value soil, biodiversity, local materials and production systems. Nine making projects will be highlighted in this exhibition through a display of films, photography, audio, handbooks, raw materials, and craft objects.
The exhibition draws on the British Council's Crafting Futures programme and features work by artisans and researchers from countries across the globe, including Bangladesh, the Philippines, the Democratic Republic of Congo, India, Argentina, Nicaragua, Guyana, Brazil, Indonesia and the United Kingdom.
The Crafts Council Gallery will be transformed into a site for learning, where visitors can engage with craft processes from across the globe.
