Curatorial Statement
“Crafts Dialogue” is one of Irthi’s initiatives that seeks to merge the arts and crafts of the United Arab Emirates with global crafts. The program allows for a design and production dialogue between pairs of international and local designers to create collections that combine Emirati and European elements. This project is a result of a collaboration between the Barcelona-based “Creative Dialogue” cultural agency and Irthi Contemporary Crafts Council. The Crafts Dialogue project features a series of four limited-edition collections.
