""For years, I've felt that the idea of Indian craft-and Indian craftspeople-has been reduced, as if it's a separate, lesser category from contemporary design.""
""The aim is not just cultural exchange, but hands-on production: Each participant develops a new body of work rooted in Indian materials and craft traditions, created in situ with the artisans themselves.""
The Shakti Design Residency invites international designers to collaborate with Indian artisans, producing unique works that reflect local materials and traditions. Participants, like Zofia Sobolewska Ursic, work directly with master craftsmen in workshops, creating pieces that will debut at Milan Design Week. Founded by Shalini Misra, the residency aims to elevate Indian craft within the global design narrative, fostering cultural exchange and innovation in design practices.
