Abstract

This is the introduction to the second of two special issues that examine craft from the perspective of exhibition histories, contexts and practices. This emerging field offers a significant methodological framework for understanding how the category of craft has been shaped, redefined and contested through display. Focusing on the exhibition as a site of enquiry, our contributors explore the ways in which diverse spaces, agents and curatorial practices influence the creative, political, economic, and social role of craft. Issue 2, Disrupting Boundaries: The Politics of Craft Exhibitions (January 2023) explores how the display of craft can shape, support and contest a variety of political positions.
