Arts & rats

A little more than a hundred and fifty years ago, the Arts & Crafts movement was born in England. The movement echoed the concerns of artists-craftsmen facing “progress”, in the context of colonial domination.

Landscapes and societies were rapidly being transformed under the impetus of the industrial revolution, which brought about new social organization. In following in the footsteps of this artistic movement, I saw an astonishing actuality.

“The dominants dominate even more and progress remains their credo. What is different is their egocentric, arrogant and derisory affirmation through the brands that shape our reality.”
