Values

KHAMIR, the institution reflects the core values of the craft sector that it represents. It is collaborative, believes in bringing diverse stakeholders together onto one platform to address issues collectively for optimum good.

Craft is community practice. It is shared social, economic, cultural capital and has played a vital role in fulfilling needs of the community at all these levels. KHAMIR aspires to reclaim these values of shared responsibility and responsiveness in the face of the individualism and aggressive competitiveness bred in the models of lifestyle our world is pursuing.

KHAMIR’s team and artisans come from diverse backgrounds and communities. KHAMIR strives to be a democratic, enabling space especially for the more vulnerable. Creativity as a deeply personal experience to impact and transform is a goal that KHAMIR  hopes to bring in its spaces, interactions and work interventions.
