Marking one year of living under the shadow of a global pandemic, we’re taking an opportunity to pause, to look around us, to reflect. The difficulties we have all grappled with this year have amplified fissures in our society’s concept of care. Reflecting on this pivotal moment, we ask how craft can comfort us and move us from a crisis of care to a culture of care. Craft, we know, makes care tangible—through our physical relationship to materials, and through the movements and gestures of making. And, craft was made to meet moments like these, connecting us to ourselves, the land, and our shared humanity.
