What do you know about Ukrainian #design and it`s roots?
What handicrafts existed on this lands 900 years ago and are still in use?
And how it all affects contemporary #design in Eastern Europe?
A group of 12 international #design experts from UK, USA, France, Denmark, Finland, Spain and other countries visited 5 unique design centers of Transcarpathian Ukraine - an absolutely original craft workshops of black-smoked ceramics, Hutsul sheep-wool carpets, sustainable woodwork and many others. Organized by the founder of the #faina #design – #victoriayakusha, project has aimed to inspire #design colleagues all over the world with a one of a kind craft technique of this region, which are at great risk of extinction.
The sensual experience of designers on handicrafts resulted in a deep discourse of each of them on the future of ancient crafts, their modern interpretation and the collaboration of modern #design practitioners with artisans.
To share our inspiration with everyone, we created a documentary about the expedition and its main characters: artisans, #design experts and Ukraine.
The project was implemented with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.
