“HAND/EYE is an inde­pen­dent, inter­na­tional pub­li­ca­tion which explores the nexus between design and devel­op­ment, cul­ture and com­merce, art and craft, and envi­ron­ment and ethics. HAND/EYE’s goal is to engen­der intel­li­gent debate among arti­sans, exporters, design­ers, artists, whole­salers and importers, retail­ers, and con­sumers so that all may make smart, eth­i­cal, and inspired deci­sions about their activities.

HAND/EYE arti­cles will dis­cuss design as a tool for devel­op­ment and income gen­er­a­tion, as well as for envi­ron­men­tal and social progress.  The mag­a­zine will also dis­cuss inno­v­a­tive and eth­i­cal retail prac­tices as a force for more enlight­ened and infor­ma­tive con­sumerism, and will look at NGO pro­grams address­ing arti­san income gen­er­a­tion and com­mu­nity well being.   We will show­case rel­e­vant new prod­uct for the con­sid­er­a­tion of retail­ers and consumers.

Through the work of accom­plished pho­tog­ra­phers, we will also look at arti­san life in a visual con­text.  In inter­views with inspir­ing cre­ators and do-ers of all kinds, HAND/EYE will offer nour­ish­ing food for thought to all readers.”
