Mumbai: JSW Foundation announced its partnership with Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship to place Indian craftsmanship within a global contemporary dialogue at the internationally acclaimed cultural movement Homo Faber 2026.
Through this collaboration, the philanthropic arm of the JSW Group will support the participation of Indian artisans at the fourth edition of the Homo Faber Biennial, to be held September at the historic Fondazione Giorgio Cini on San Giorgio Maggiore Island in Venice. The biennial brings together exceptional artisans from across the world, spotlighting craftsmanship as a living, evolving creative practice.
Curated under the theme “Homo Faber 2026: An Island of Light,” the upcoming edition will feature works by hundreds of artisans whose practices span materials, techniques and cultural contexts. JSW Foundation claimed that it will enable Indian artisans to participate in this global platform, offering them international visibility and meaningful engagement beyond traditional narratives of craft, by becoming a Homo Faber Guardian of Creativity and Craftsmanship.
The collaboration was announced at the India Art Fair on Thursday, in the presence of Tarini Jindal Handa and Sangita Jindal.
