The much-anticipated Indian Ocean Craft Triennial is set to return with its second edition. Scheduled to open in August 2024, this extraordinary event promises to be a vibrant celebration of contemporary craft and intercultural exchange of the Indian Ocean region.

The Indian Ocean Craft Triennial (aka IOTA) has established itself as a prestigious platform for craftspeople, artists, and artisans. IOTA offers a unique opportunity for participants and audiences to engage in dialogues that explore the intersections of craft, cultural expression and modernity.

IOTA will bring together craft artists and artisans from the diverse countries and communities bordering the Indian Ocean. Visitors can expect to experience a mesmerising blend of textiles, ceramics, jewellery, woodwork, and other craftforms that reflect the rich cultural tapestry of the region.
