    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    ����y/���� (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, ����y/���� (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.

    Long description:

    """����y/���� (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. Centered on four in-depth case studies of collaboration between Australian and Vietnamese makers and designers, the book traces innovative practices across fashion and textiles, ceramics, and furniture-making. These projects emerged in response to the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic and foreground adaptation, recovery, and sustainability in its cultural, social, economic, and environmental dimensions. By situating contemporary Vietnamese craft and design at the heart of the analysis, the book challenges Western-centric discourses that privilege ""fine art"" over craft and signals toward decolonial approaches to making and knowledge exchange. Attentive to mobility, tradition, and longstanding ecological practices, ����y/���� (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."""
