How craft can help us move from a crisis of care to a culture of care.

Marking one year of living under the shadow of a global pandemic, we’re taking an opportunity to pause, to look around us, to reflect. The difficulties we have all grappled with this year have amplified fissures in our society’s concept of care. Reflecting on this pivotal moment, we ask how craft can comfort us and move us from a crisis of care to a culture of care. We’ve designed this American Craft Forum to build on the themes explored in the Spring 2021 issue of American Craft.
