The activity reaches its fourth edition presenting, for the first time, a festival format and puts on the table the evolution, transversality and interconnectivity between sectors and disciplines to address that artisan innovation that goes beyond technology or research in materials and techniques.
Crafts NOW is a space for exchange, exhibition, and networking, which will have the presence of professional experts from the crafts, design, and creative sectors who will present the new trends in the filed, research projects, experiences, and good practices. A space to think about the future of crafts with a disruptive perspective and adapted to the new social and thought models: cooperativism, the gender perspective, responsible consumption, sustainability, and everything that crafts can contribute to society.
