PROUD SOUTH CRAFT is the second volume in a series that celebrates the creative forces of the new Global South. Through the expressive lens of contemporary craft, embraced as a tool for transformation, this book highlights furniture, art, lighting, textiles, ceramics, woodwork, basketry, stonework, glass and more.
Through 34 chapters, Lidewij Edelkoort and Lili Tedde have brought together a dynamic group of emerging and established creatives from around the globe. As Edelkoort observes, "Craft is the direct link humans have with their ancestors and the beginning of civilization." She feels this irreversible revival of craft reflects society’s desire for authenticity and tactility, to complement our modern mode of living, but more so, craft embodies our urgent need to affirm the power of humans over machines and artificial intelligence. Hence, the idea of an activist counterculture emerges, manifesting with palpable proof that the made-by-hand can become a Proud South revolutionary movement to reckon with.
PROUD SOUTH includes essays from noteworthy contributors such as Brazilian designer Humberto Campana, Indian designer Gunjan Gupta, South African artist Andile Dyalvane and international gallerist Trevyn McGowan. Profiles focus on several influential artistic talents, including Ana Teresa Barboza and Rafael Freyre, Alvaro Catalán de Ocón, Angela Damman, Vikram Goyal, Rosana Escobar, Andrés Gutiérrez, Porky Hefer, Fernando Laposse and Adrian Pepe. Additional photographic essays illustrate indigenous wisdom, from the history of nomadic rugs to the landscaping of interiors, architecture, gardens and collections.
With over 400 pages of captivating stories and inspiring imagery, this edition of PROUD SOUTH CRAFT is also an object to covet, designed by Mariola Lopez Mariño, putting the visuals on the pedestal they deserve and proudly sealing them in a beautiful metallic cover. Therefore, this book makes the perfect gift to discover the exciting voices from the southern parts of the planet that are redefining craft, design and culture.

Amazing value for the price - perfect for my 2 year old book lover!
Format: Hardcover
This is an amazing value! My 2yo loves books and princesses, and I am trying to work on her independence (and find screen free activities). She was able to figure out the reader on her own, and can easily follow along. Of course, she would rather I do it with her but we're working on it.
The pages are very thin paper, but that's ok considering the price for 8 books. Just might want to keep an eye on little hands. The art work doesn't look cheap, and despite the delicate pages the books are good quality. The reader is cool, sound quality is meh but again, under $20. I wish the box didn't have display holes so it would be a better storage case, but even the cardboard is pretty good so I can make it work.
I will definitely be gifting this and buying more for my girl because you cannot beat the value of this!

Great Read-a-Long
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This is a great idea for young children to listen and learn to read. It's easy for little ones to learn how to use it. Just match the picture on the selected book to the corresponding picture on the electronic reader and that's it. The electronic reader voice speaks clearly and understandable. The words are printed on the page, making it easy to follow along. This was the perfect book for my five-year-old princess granddaughter.

Great for 4 Year Old, Pages Need to Be Thicker
Format: Hardcover
I got these for my daughter for Christmas last year and she loves them. The reader is easy to operate - press the princess and then press the buttons that correspond to the page and it reads it to you. I like the variety of princesses included, such as Mulan, since she's not often featured. There was Merida and Tiana as well as the most popular ones like Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, etc. The books are hardcover, which is nice, but the pages are so thin and will bend and tear over time. The pages are colorful and the stories are fun to listen to. These remind me of the books on tape of my youth. Very happy with the purchase.

Great Product!
Format: Hardcover
We bought this for a 14 hour car ride!
It was a life saver kept our 4 year old and 6 year old nieces occupied. They love the stories and the illustrations in the book were beautiful.
The voice of the narrator is so much fun.
We would recommend for sure.
The price was really great as well.
