Abstract
This paper presents the methodology applied by an interdisciplinary team with experience in industrial design and anthropology to foster mutual understanding and collaboration between designers and artisans in a Latin American context. The research team aimed to understand the processes by which handcrafted objects are produced, traded, and used by artisans, local vendors, and consumers by conducting a research project in two cities in Peru - Lima and Cajamarca- as a case study. During said process, the team recognized the implications of the traditional definitions of ‘design’ and ‘artisanship’ and the impact of these concepts on individuals, communities and other contexts. Furthermore, by reusing the original methodology from a product-oriented approach to a systemic approach, the research team understood the need to redefine such concepts to ensure intercultural and horizontal collaboration between artisans and designers.
