About the Research Project
This is a highly innovative research project about how the changing economic, ecological, epistemological and cultural value of crafts in West Africa shapes social belonging and imagined futures of teenagers in craft families. Researchers in Benin and Senegal have completed participant ethnographies with potters, weavers and blacksmiths, conducted qualitative interviews with a range of interested actors in each country, and future-me workshops with children in craft families.
