Aims

Indian culture today continues to draw heavily upon its heritage of crafts. Whether we speak of traditional musical instruments that are still handmade, or admire the skilled embroidery that embellishes clothes and accessories the world over, we are constantly reminded of what we owe our artisans. It is this sense of indebtedness that led to the founding of Morcrafts, whose aims are two fold:

To ignite an intellectual awareness of the rich and varied heritage of Indian arts and crafts;
and
To fuel the actual creation of products based on traditional crafts and influenced by modern design.

We regularly fund research projects, organize symposia, exhibitions, and film screenings, and publish periodicals to fulfil the former. We also conduct workshops that bring together rural craftspersons and urban designers to achieve the latter. To learn more about our many initiatives,
