Craft x Tech

Craft x Tech is an initiative to bridge the gap between traditional Japanese craft and contemporary technology. Our goal is to create a novel and unique body of artworks that express both the history and future potential of these beautiful materials and techniques. The initiative focuses on six prefectures of the Tohoku (north-east) region of Japan for its inaugural edition and continues expanding to involve other Japanese districts and creatives from around the world. The programme welcomes Maria Cristina Didero as its curational director and is led by a design studio Tangent and the Craft x Tech Tohoku Association.
