Here’s some ( long overdue ) writing exploring the theme of Parasitic practices in Craft. . When designers / artists / architects / scenographers represent Craft for the Western gaze, they are not really performing a “cultural exchange”. They are performing a highly choreographed psychological operation. . But DO NOT despair. You can do it too. Just follow our handy “Orientalist Handbook”! More as we work our way through this twisted domain. Use this handbook when visiting all the fairs and biennales to spot its use! . As always, thoughts and comments welcome to help us develop this guide! Premise developed from conversations with studio_juhi . #thebusride #thebusridelab #indiafuturesproject #indofuturism #futureofcraft
