Our project is evolving, and we’re excited to share the latest milestones we’ve achieved! Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we’re bringing this vision to life.
We have reviewed the proposals, but we believe they do not adequately address the core issue: passing on the tradition of nativity art from artisans to the younger generations.
For example, Rano’s proposal mentions manual work and the use of machines, but the problem lies precisely in the use of technology, which risks compromising the essence of the tradition. It is essential to identify solutions that can attract young people while keeping artisanal craftsmanship at the center.
The uniqueness and distinctiveness of nativity figurines cannot be easily replicated by just anyone, let alone by children in schools. We believe it would be more appropriate to focus on students from art schools or related disciplines, who possess the skills and interest to delve into this type of craftsmanship.
The brief includes structured examples demonstrating how art can be effectively passed down; drawing inspiration from these models could help design a pathway that integrates education, tradition, and craftsmanship, ensuring the continuity and authenticity of this valuable cultural heritage.
