A project that assists disadvantaged rural communities in Brazil through theoretical seminars, practical work and creative experiments involving designers and craftspeople, all with a view toward equipping these communities for knowledge-sharing, bringing traditional know-how to design and broadening the markets for sustainable arts and crafts.
I participated in the workshops held at Manicoré, in the Amazonian hinterland, and at Santa Rita, in the backlands of Bahia.
