Crafted in Bangladesh: Meet the artisans. Explore their skills. Explore their stories.

http://bit.ly/CraftsBangladesh - a volume of pieces on Bangladeshi crafts

Crafts are an integral part of Bangladesh's rural economy, and the country's rich heritage and culture.

As we witness how traditional crafts and manual skills are dying out, sustainability initiatives for industries tend to omit cultural aspects and disregard the knowledge accumulated for generations. As industrialization takes over, why put emphasis on crafts? For understanding history. For living cultural diversity. For sustaining the next generations.

Goethe-Institut Bangladesh along with the National Crafts Council of Bangladesh, Bengal Craft Society, Aranya, and Artisan Social brought together intangible knowledge of Bangladeshi crafts and artisanal heritage.
