Fall/Winter 2026-2027: POSSIBILITY

Description:

Craft remains a steadfast stronghold in our lives, from the textiles we wear to the ceramics we use. Amongst the buzz du jour (AI slop), the handmade is not only a resurgence but a necessity. At the core of making is possibility; the manifestation of ideas into craft. What does craft teach about the current moment, and what is to come? Advocating for craft - craft resiliency in the age of lost funding. How can we build infrastructure that supports craft beyond government grants? What possibilities can we envision beyond the current moment? What is the craft future we want to see, and how can we get there?

We are at a pivotal moment between the digital and handmade, between censorship and creativity. With shuttering craft programs and the digital turn, how is craft the last stronghold of the handmade? In an increasingly digital age, how is craft drawing people towards the haptic? Is nostalgia at odds with technology?

Topics of interest include:
- Upcoming craft - new generation, relationships between generations
- Online vs physical spaces
- Value in labour in the face of devaluation of craft
- Canadian craft internationally - exhibitions, platforms - how does identity perform/shift on the international stage?
