Care & Repair: Artisans by Design Book Panel

Description

Join us for a panel discussion with Judy Frater, author of the book Artisans by Design, as well as Adil Khatri and Pachan Siju, two textile artists who attended the school discussed in her book. Artisans by Design tells the story of creating the first design school for artisans in India. The book spans 50 years, and shares vignettes of artisans who are living out sustainability as cultural heritage. The design school’s human-centered approach to developing artists and designs honors the tradition, craft and creativity textile artisans in India have showcased for years.

You’ll enjoy a lively, illustrated talk, followed by a trunk show featuring textiles designed and created by graduates of the design education program. Copies of Artisans by Design will be available for purchase from A Room of One’s Own bookstore.

This talk is recommended for adults. No registration is required.

This program is part of the Care & Repair program series, which is made possible thanks to support from Beyond the Page, National Endowment for the Humanities and Madison Community Foundation. See all upcoming programs at madpl.org/careandrepair.
