“The cultural diversity in our world is overwhelming and yet, exciting. It is amazing to see people solve a challenge with creativity and empathy that sprouts from their own culture. I always believe a truly outstanding piece is born out of the greatest cultural insights. A winning piece should not only tick all the boxes of creativity, craft & impact but also must move people emotionally. I am so humbled and honored to receive the invitation to be the President of the Craft Jury at the Golden Drum Festival of Creativity. In this age of AI-driven craft, I can’t wait to see how the creative community is pushing the boundaries this year,” said the president of Craft Jury, Ashwini Deshpande, Co-Founder Director, Elephant Design, India.
