I saw (and snapped) this poster up at Basheer's earlier this week, for the Singapore Premiere of "Handmade Nation" [www] ~ a documentary film by director Faythe Levine (who blogs about this film and her next film about sign-painters here). Deffo interested to attend ~ anyone wants to come with?
ABOUT: Handmade Nation documents the new wave of art, craft and design that is capturing the attention of America. It is the feature film debut of director, author, artist and curator Faythe Levine. Levine travelled to 15 cities and covered more than 19,000 miles to interview artists, crafters, makers, curators and community members.
Today’s craft world has emerged as a synthesis of historical technique, punk culture, and the DIY ethos, also influenced by traditional handiwork, modern aesthetics, politics, feminism and art.
Singapore also has a crafting culture that is still in its infancy. This documentary would make an interesting comparison for the general public while also be an inspiration for the aspiring local crafters.
