Homo Faber Fellowship by Michelangelo Foundation

The Homo Faber Fellowship it’s an ecosystem developed by the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship alongside its institutional partners, with the support of the founding partner Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Homo Faber Fellowship programme includes a month-long creative and entrepreneurial masterclass, a six-month sponsored placement in the workshop of a master artisan, resulting in a co-created object. Then there’s a showcase at an international exhibition, which celebrates the unique, cross – craft, cross – cultural, creative partnerships created during the programme.

The Homo Faber Fellowship ensure that the young artisans participating don’t just learn how to create, but also how to thrive in the modern economic landscape.

The Power of the Duo: 22 Stories of Collaboration

What makes the third edition of the Homo Faber Fellowship so distinct is the sheer diversity of the 22 duos. These pairings cross geographical borders, linguistic barriers, and differing creative philosophies.
The resulting co-created objects are tangible proof that craft is a universal language. They are objects infused with soul, carrying the artistic DNA of both the seasoned veteran and the bold pioneer.
