As many of my classmates, I have chosen this 2 year transcultural program in India so as to learn as much as possible about handicraft and social design, always keeping in mind environmental issues.
After only one day a the Design Innovation & Craft Ressource Center (DICRC) in Ahmedabad, here are yet a couple of things I want to share with you on those subjects. Hope you will enjoy it.
First of all this great and full of ressources blog, written by Prof. M P Ranjan : http://design-for-india.blogspot.in/
and then this quote, extracted from Crafts Atlas of India, by Jaya Jaitly
"It is almost impossible to encapsulate the entire landscape of craft in India for two reasons : one is the sheer vastness of it, and the second is its fluidity. The essential nature of craft skills lies in its ability to metamorphose, be enlarged, disappear or re-appear, according to changing circumstances and multifarious processes that touch upon this area of human resource."
