Description
Contemporary craft, art and design are inseparable from the flows of production and consumption under global capitalism.
The New Politics of the Handmade features twenty-three voices who critically rethink the handmade in this dramatically shifting economy.
The authors examine craft within the conditions of extreme material and economic disparity; a renewed focus on labour and materiality in contemporary art and museums; the political dimensions of craftivism, neoliberalism, and state power; efforts toward urban renewal and sustainability; the use of digital technologies; and craft’s connections to race, cultural identity and sovereignty in texts that criss-cross five continents.
They claim contemporary craft as a dynamic critical position for understanding the most immediate political and aesthetic issues of our time.
