Collaborative conference - The cHAT Week
   
The Sanskriti Pratishthan hosted a weeklong collaborative conference called the cHAT Week for the Here and There (HAT) project which is a structured programme of International research fellowships for the crafts. The programme was in collaboration with A Fine Line an arts consultancy based in the UK, Arts Council of England and the British Council.

Through this project they sought to develop:
  • A fresh, integrated and more strategic approach to the crafts residency model.
  • Building international networks of designer makers sharing practise based research.
  • Supporting the development of networks of agencies, curators and arts organisations engaging with international contemporary crafts practitioners in the development of their programmes.
