Craft, Mental Health, Museums and Consumerism with Shereen Ramprashad

This discussion will explore the increased interest in craft art during and after COVID shutdowns and its impact on mental health. Craft is perceived as a community-based, grass-roots and feminist practice that is accessible by those who do not think of themselves as artistic or feminist. Can this perception be maintained as market force and museum interest increase?
