October 2010
The journey of design comes across another continent to Leishan County (Guizhou region) , where a team of Western designers have met the artisans of the Miao ethnic minority.
From June to October 2010, across different steps, we have worked together to transform the traditional handicraft products into, new products that with a strong local identity, to face the contemporary market.
The China Ethnic Creative Industries Design Workshop was carried out under the Culture and Development Partnership Framework, approved in 2008 by the United Nations and Spain, under the guidance of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission in PRC.
