Futuring Craft 24: The Value of Craft

IOTA’s flagship conference is an invitation to gather, share, and together begin to shape the future of contemporary craft in our region. Featuring presentations from leading thinkers and practitioners, expect insights into traditional, current and future craft practice alongside discussions, workshops, artist talks and exhibition tours.

Keynote speaker: Asim Waqif

Concerns of ecology and anthropology weave through Delhi-based Asim Waqif’s work, which crosses architecture, art and design. Known for creating temporary forms that necessitate painstaking manual processes and collaborative teams, his work highlights the politics of occupying, intervening, and using public spaces.

Details of the program are to be announced.
