Nehal El-Hadi - Text and Tactility: Perspectives on Writing about Craft

Presented by Mantioba Craft Council in partnership with MAWA and the Manitoba Fibre Festival

Writing about craft and making is an invitation to write about the complex issues we face in everyday life: the environment, migration, labour, social relations, beauty, etc. In this talk we'll explore how we use language to communicate our experiences with craft, and how, in talking about craft and making, we're really talking about our place in the world. Nehal El-Hadi is the Editor-in-Chief of Studio magazine, a biannual print publication devoted to contemporary Canadian craft and design. Her own writing explores the relationships between bodies, technology and space.
