Author: Silvia Gaetti (ed.)
The exchange of cultures has always had an impact on art, crafts and design. This title showcases jewellery, fashion, textiles and ceramic by contemporary young designers and artists that often hail from other countries, or transcultural backgrounds. The focus placed on the present and future shows that in an age of cultural pluralism and heterogeneity, art and design are not feasible without transcultural encounters.When people travel and migrate their objects travel with them and subsequently adapt to new settings and contexts. This book presents global networks and interpretations of techniques and objects as well as their developments and messages that have altered thanks to mobility.
