...historically, significant changes in how our societies work were characterised in part by the appearance of artisans as levers of change. These artisans were those whose curiosity, determination, and imagination were leveraged by their craft to create the vehicles for new ideas to get traction. They knocked us out of our comfort zones, produced something tangible, and spoke in languages of possibility. They offered connection, community, and insight.
