Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

dây/dó (here/there) explores how transnational collaboration in the Asia-Pacific can sustain craft knowledge, cultural heritage, and livelihoods in a time of ecological and social precarity.

Bringing together critical scholarship and creative practice, the book examines cross-cultural exchange as both a possibility and a problem: a space for reciprocal learning and innovation, but also one that can reproduce colonial hierarchies of cultural value.

Attentive to mobility, tradition, and longstanding ecological practices, dây/dó (here/there) offers new ways of imagining craft, creativity, and sustainability in an interconnected world—speaking to scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in intercultural creative futures.
