PHA-Exchange> arts and crafts at the assembly

[Nisha Susan]

Is your region rich in indigeneous art and craft? In days past did 
travellers long for the handlooms of your country because they blazed 
with colour and life?  Have the people of your region in possession of a 
knowledge of eco-friendly alternatives to a high-consumption lifestyle. 
Does your region have craft collectives that are  reviving indigeneous 
art and craft forms? Well then, bring your shawls, beads, sculptures and 
wall-hangings to Cuenca. Share the skills of your people with the world.

What you can do:

    * Bring samples of art and craft from your region that is
      distinctive to your region.
    * Bring a mobile exhibition or a video that shows the people and the
      story behind the craft
    * Bring  art and craft for sale
    * Organize materials and resource persons for demonstrations at the
      assembly.<>

      Things to remember
          o <><>If you are selling crafts do remember to print some
            simple one or two page fliers with a few pictures of your
            products, pricing information and the story behind your crafts.
          o Avoid bringing food as there are restrictions about carrying
            food across borders.
