Kalaangan Collective
EkiBeki nurtures a growing collective of artisans who choose to stay connected, support one another, and make decisions collaboratively about what is best for their craft and livelihoods. The collective functions as a shared space for learning, dialogue, and mutual growth—where artisans exchange experiences, discuss challenges, and explore new ideas together.
Through this collective, artisans are encouraged to engage with evolving market dynamics, emerging trends, and contemporary ideologies, while remaining rooted in their traditional practices.
EkiBeki also facilitates periodic training and upskilling to help bridge the urban–rural divide. These sessions may include practical, hands-on learning such as understanding customer preferences, basic digital skills, or even simple tools like taking effective photographs of their work for platforms such as Instagram.
By fostering connection, knowledge-sharing, and independence, the Artisan Collective strengthens both the craft and the community around it.
