Abstract

The British Council’s Crafting Futures global program celebrates the value of artisanship in our history, our culture and the current world. Fomenting dialogues in the intersection between the artisanal sector and other disciplines, the initiative brings together artisans, designers, organizations and others from all over the world with the purpose of exploring potential sustainable futures.Under this premise, research was carried out in Argentina between 2019 and 2021 to gather the experiences and points of view of participants in the joint processes of creation and knowledge exchange. The survey, created together with REDIT (Federal Inter-University Network for Fashion and Textile Design) and under the advice of India’s Craft Revival Trust, reached more than 570 people. Whenever possible, considering the limitations imposed by the pandemic, in-person meetings and round-table discussions were carried out, which included the contributions of specialists of this sector. The work methodology and information gathered can be reviewed in the report "Crafting Futures: Exploración del ecosistema artesanal en Argentina".
