OAKLAND
Craft Forward examines the multifaceted practices that both distinguish and blur the
historically charged boundaries between craft, art, design, architecture, and writing.
The symposium brings together a diverse group of makers and thinkers to explore the
ethos of craft and its resurgence in the 21st century.
Craft Forward focuses on craft in relation to a series of concepts, including materiality,
technology, production, identity, and revolution. Speakers include Ayse Birsel, Marek
Cecula, Liz Collins, Bridget Cooks, Teddy Cruz, David Howes, Lauren Kalman, Sheila
Kennedy, Chris Lefteri, Lydia Matthews, Cat Mazza, Allyson Mitchell, Chris Taylor,
Otto von Busch, Frank Wilson, and others.
