Siddhi Gupta | Reclaiming Craft as Knowledge: Decolonising Creativity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Chantal
This PhD proposes reclaiming craft as a legitimate system of knowledge to decolonise dominant, Western notions of creativity, particularly as these are being reshaped in the age of Artificial Intelligence. Situated in the Indian context, it argues that craft embodies collective, culturally embedded, and context-specific forms of creativity that are marginalised by institutional, economic, and technology-driven frameworks of creative value.
