About this Event
Trade Roots is excited to host a screening of Handmade Future, a film exploring the ethics, artistry, and equity of the global artisan sector, showcasing the beauty and importance of heritage crafts, the challenges faced by makers worldwide, and the inspiring people keeping artisan crafts alive.
After the screening, stay for a live Zoom Q&A with the director, Kirsten Dickerson, to ask questions, share perspectives, and dive deeper into the ideas behind the film.
