The Creative Resource Guide - Crafts in Asia: Pathways to Sustainability

“This series highlights the key role played by crafts in providing practical solutions to face the climate crisis at hand. It also brings attention to the designers, craftpeople and makers that through their knowledge and practice are contributing to finding new transformative solutions to the pressing climate crisis.” (p. VIII)

 

“This guide actively seeks a pluralistic landscape of approaches and voices on crafts in Asia, explored as cultural, social, environmental and economic practices. The research is articulated around three chapters that combine interviews and organization profiles, with each section dedicated to one of the following essential aspects of sustainability: safeguarding cultural heritage and natural resources, fostering community-rooted initiatives, and innovative making toward carbon-reduction and zero waste practices.” (p. 2)
