The Indigenous Arts Movement:
Expanding Horizons towards Sustainability
Panel Discussion, 6:00-7:30pm
Gallery Exhibition, 7:30-9.00pm
Rapid industrialization in the developing world is redefining local cultures and fashions, causing a radical shift in the practice of traditional arts and crafts which evolved over thousands of years. In response, artists and entrepreneurs are introducing novel sustainable business models to encourage local artisans to continue their beautiful work, while introducing them to new and broader markets.
On October 11, TiE Boston is hosting an intimate panel discussion with some of these new entrepreneurs. And for the first time ever, TiE Boston is hosting a gallery show of these artists work, featuring a dynamite collection of textiles, visual arts, and other handicraft from traditional artisans around the world
