CRAFT + FUTURE = CRAFTIVISM

Rishav Jain (Tutor)

Imagine a world where technology reigns supreme and screens dominate our lives, the erosion of human connection and creativity is palpable. Mass production and standardization have become the norm, leaving little room for individuality or passion. In this bleak future, Craft communities have crumbled, leaving countless individuals adrift in a world that no longer values their unique skills. Creativity has become a relic of the past, overshadowed by the homogenizing force of algorithmic conformity. A flicker of resistance emerges. Craft masters, guardians of tradition and heritage, refuse to let their artistry fade into obscurity. Compelled by a shared desire to preserve their cultural identity, they come together to form guilds and collectives. In the Craft Revolution, guilds and collectives redefine tradition, becoming havens of creativity. New enclaves, centered at the old Indian parliament, showcase handmade power, stirring awareness of lost significance. It’s a space for awakening to what’s been lost and how a hub for readiness in a movement toward honoring human artistry.
