Whose futures need crafting?

This project is a conversation as research between Sandra Fruebing and Rachel Kelly were recipients of two British Council/Crafts Council Crafting Futures small project grants (5k). A conversation started when Fruebing and Kelly had both returned from their work in Egypt and the Philippines respectively. Both participants related their experiences through their conversations and this led them to discuss their experiences through regular online exchanges stretching from 2019-2020.

In considering the wide spectrum of collaboration and companionship which is emerging from their work in Design Higher Education, there have been moments where, like dials tuning into a radio signal, they and the voices which have come from communities they have worked with, express the same thoughts, the same words, sometimes with crystal clarity.
