Indian Ocean Craft Triennial 2

A stunning record of a world class exhibition of the people living around the Indian Ocean.


The Indian Ocean Craft Triennial in 2021 brought together artists, makers and crafted works from around the Indian Ocean Rim (IOR). It was the first of its kind and focussed on the innate curiosity and rituals that connect us through the medium of craft and the handmade, at home and across the ocean.

Now the exhibition is set to reach a much broader audience with the publication of the 144-page catalogue- Indian Ocean Craft Triennial- Curiosity & Rituals of the Everyday. Each of the 35 artists and groups represented in the exhibition have a double-page spread with full colour images of their works, an artist statement and bio. The artists represent seven countries with craftworks ranging from tapestry to jewellery to ceramics, carving and large-scale installations.
