Artisans are those who weave what doesn’t change into what does. They host the spaces between our imaginations and the changing practices of daily life. They produce the artefacts and services that symbolise who we see ourselves as, grounding us in our identity and society, whether at a local level or connecting a diaspora. Artisans are the innovators who turn new ideas and technology into the first clunky prototypes that catalyse revolutions, and they are the mycelium that helps ideas spread.
— Richard Merrick
