The LGK Foundation promotes and defends the notion of master craftsmanship on the African continent. While celebrating the skills and traditions of African artisans who create objects of excellence, the Foundation also works to lift the curtain on their abilities, bringing them to the fore; encourages research into their traditional techniques; and endeavours to professionalize their abilities. Where opportunities arise, the Foundation helps to build bridges so artisans can collaborate with other creatives in their ecosystems. The overall objective: to support the economic development of the peoples of Africa through the creative and cultural industries.
