As we've traveled throughout the country we have seen people producing a remarkable range of art and crafts. They are working from the pavements, in the schools, studios and markets of the big cities and in rural enclaves.

It has been said that there are many artists and crafts-persons working here today making art  and crafts from a huge array of materials and pushing the boundaries of what art itself consists of.

Through their very work they ask, what is art and craft's position is in a society in transition from the repressive limitations of the past to the uncertainties of the future.
