Marisa Fick-Jordan: The wonder of Zulu wire art

The video explores the evolution of materials from natural grasses to industrial products like telephone wire, driven by modernization and urban migration. It highlights a project initiated in the '90s in a Durban squatter camp, which grew from 5 to 50 weavers, eventually involving 300. The project expanded by collaborating with a wire manufacturer to create contemporary products for high-end markets. The initiative supports rural communities, providing sustainable employment and modernizing traditional crafts.
