Curation
The Mindcraft Project works with changing curators for the annual exhibitions. Christian and Jade are curators of The Mindcraft Exhibition 2026.
Curator 2026: Christian and Jade
Christian and Jade represent a contemporary wave of Danish designers who are re-contextualising the role of craft and material research within the design field today. They have brought their own hands-on experience across materials and scale into their curatorial vision for this year’s exhibition; drawing a focus on the inherit qualities of natural materials, a devotion to craft, and the importance of tacit knowledge built through the act of making.
