Since 2019 and The Oma Case, TAEC has been active in the movement to recognise the rights of local communities over their cultural designs and heritage. In 2023, we opened the exhibition “Claiming Inspiration: Artisans, Culture, and Commercialisation”  (now on display at TAEC), exploring the misappropriation of traditional design and the efforts to empower communities and foster ethical collaboration.

We will periodically update progress here and on social media, so please keep in touch!
