Inside the Creative Traditions Workshops
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 22
Abstract
The interviews that make up this section of the journal illustrate some of the particular challenges facing recent initiatives to recover, in a creative way, a range of artisan products. These are projects that go beyond the standard efforts at re-activation and re-animation that created a cultural landscape generally characterised by inertia. Mention should also be made here of two other equally interesting projects, Mesteshukar ButiQ, a Bucharest-based social enterprise working at giving new value to traditional Roma craftsmanship, and PATZAIKIN Design, which grounds its inspiration in the fishermen's traditions of the Danube Delta, the name being a tribute paid to the world-famous canoeist Ivan Patzaichin.
