British Council: Craft Curators UK Study Tour - Open Call
The British Council has recently announced the Crafting Futures UK Study Tour for craft and textiles curators and collectors – a new initiative within its Crafting Futures programme, aiming to create more opportunities for exchange between Asian and British craft curators, museums, galleries and programmes in order to generate greater storytelling and promotion of women in sustainable and ethical craft-based textile production.
The programme is seeking 6 excellent candidates based in Malaysia, Myanmar or Thailand to participate in a study tour to the UK in June 2018. The study tour will include visits to museums, galleries, archives, collections and sites of production across the UK. Participants will have the chance to network with British curators, museum workers, craft organisations and practitioners.
The aim of the study visit is to:
- Build stronger connections with the UK sector and create opportunities for future exchange
- Learn about curation and storytelling practices around craft and textiles in the UK
- Create opportunities for further storytelling around female textile artisans in Asia
