Abstract
Crafting Cultures focusses on the creative process behind crafted objects and highlights its importance as intangible heritage and cultural identity, both past and present. By taking an inclusive approach to sourcing objects and sharing their stories, Crafting Cultures presents crafts as both cross-cultural and inter-generational, as crafted objects are shaped by intercultural trade and passed down through generations. This exhibition will highlight the collaborative aspect of craft making, by showing how crafted objects are the tangible remains of shared cultures and communities. To show the continuation of craft processes and techniques, historic crafted objects are displayed next to contemporary versions. To ensure that we do not exoticize or devalue items from the past, we aim to highlight the connection between craft and identity and show how the same techniques and processes are continued by modern crafters today.
