About Idée Fixe
Idée Fixe is a critical exercise to envision alternative and provocative future(s) of craft cultures in India, as a response to the stagnated identities of craft practices and ecosystems.
Through a series of interactive workshops in the next three months, we will map evidences of radically reimagined future(s) of craft cultures. Narratives and artefacts built during these workshops will be published under the creative commons to instigate fringe craft enquiries.
Idée Fixe is supported by the
Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
