Knowledge, meanings and markets of Colombian crafts

About the project

Erigaie Foundation conducted research to deeply understand the artisanal practices of different communities throughout Colombia. Based on the selection of 20 emblematic crafts, the production processes and use of natural resources were studied, as well as their commercialization and consumption.

With the results obtained, and after reviewing the visual archival material, we designed 20 products to illustrate where and how these artisanal creation processes take place. These products were part of the project's dissemination strategy and were handed over to the artisan communities as support to promote their practices.
