The “Business of Handmade” research explores the relationship between the informal economy and the cultural economy by studying 12 creative and social enterprises working in India’s artisan sector. Join our “Study Group” as we take three deep dives into the research, and discuss its findings through topical areas: co-creation and intellectual property, new rules of entrepreneurship, and “the new formal.” With expert guests, each event will be co-hosted on Zoom by Priya Krishnamoorthy, Founder, 200 Million Artisans, Cynthia Lawson Jaramillo, Director, DEED Lab, and expert guests, after which the dialogue will continue on the @DEEDLab’s Instagram account.
