Evolution of Roma crafts and craftsmen is an exhibition dedicated to the performance and artistry of the Roma artisans in self-improving their products by working with international designers. It’s an exhibition that summarizes two years of intense work in creating no less then six different life-style collections and putting them in one place, the Mestehukar ButiQ store. The purpose of this cultural manifestation is to present the public the evolution of the craftsmen through products and photos. It is a path of understanding their valuable techniques and artistry, but also to really see the true impact of meeting and working with a designer on adapting old products to contemporary demands.
