#OnthisDay 25/04 in 1719, Daniel Defoe’s fictional work "The Life and Strange Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" is published.
The Benaki Museum “Mr Robinson Crusoe stayed home. Adventures of design in times of crisis” exhibition refers to the example set by Daniel Dafoe’s hero. The exhibition proposes to reflect upon ‘craft as power’, as an ability or capacity to act in order to reclaim the knowledge of design and artistic autonomy. The research on Robinson Crusoe as a maker lies at the very centre of this narrative.
