Translations:Projet:Qui sommes-nous ?/2/en
The idea for Arts and Crafts aujourd'hui came out of the observation of an intensification of relations between the craft world and contemporary creation (in both art and design) at a time when production modes are being called into question, especially in view of the environmental crisis we face. The name is a reference to the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain in the late 19th century, which, in a reaction to industrial society, advocated a merging of art and crafts from both an aesthetic and political perspective, proposing a sort of alternative modernity. In light of these critical approaches, our programme aims to address the different forms or implications of these relations today, to foster their development within art school teaching programmes and, through this collaborative platform, to put forward new perspectives, both in terms of production and reflection that will be of interest to anyone who is involved in or attracted to these links between arts and crafts.
