OUR WORK IN THE 

ARTS & CULTURE

MUK GALLERY

Problem: Devaluating perceptions of fiber art from indigenous communities. Lack of representation due to the western-centric contemporary markets.  

​

​

Our Response: Collaborate with ancient masters from indigenous communities to share their artistic knowledge that has been the cornerstone fo many recognised artists.

Heading 1

Muk was launched in 2018 in London collaborating with artists from Afghanistan, Mexico, Japan, India, Morrocco,  Peru and Guatemala. Muk proposes a new discourse around the making of textiles to bridge the gap between this profound mode of expression and the contemporary art and design market.

​

Opening a new conversation around the artistic value of textile making by giving a voice to the hands that have carried the knowledge behind this form of art.

​

Our ultimate goal with Muk is to collaborate with the represented artists in order to co-create projects that preserve the value and culture of this form of making while fostering economic development for their communities.

​

This mode of expression has existed for many centuries and it is being lost at a fast pace. By loosing this we would not only loosing artistic and cultural heritage but we would also be pushing a considerable amount of rural communities to poverty.
