Community Couture: Make A Mark

Craft, Co-creation & Communication in Digital and Analogue Spaces.

Community Couture received the Crafting Futures Digital Collaboration Grant to launch ‘Make A Mark’, a United Kingdom–India collaboration. The project brought together 16 practitioners from the United Kingdom and India and 6 artisans from Rajasthan, India to explore what it means to make a mark using digital media and analogue craft.

All participants, along with the artisans: Kota Doria fabric-weaver, Sanganer block-maker-block-printer, Barmer applique craftswomen, pattern-cutter and tailor, illustrated their marks, which led to the creation a one-off garment representing the experiences of the people who made it.

Make A Mark was commissioned by the British Council.
