Manufacturing & Transformation

 As a foundation, CADA seeks to challenge the current standards of manufacturing and production in creative and artistic industries. Some of these manufacturing processes that seek to involve the communities CADA works with, call for a tighter audit of intention and ethics— to see where the ‘support’ really filters into. This is why CADA exists– to perform this audit as it simultaneously creates, along with the communities, a better approach and standard for these same communities to be guided by in the global market.

CADA, in its transformation of these processes, provides the requested support while avoiding the potential loss of local identities. It also fosters the communities’ ownership and reinforcement of their local identity and perspective through the suggestion of social design practices.






Some processes involve sharing tools that allow for the creation and production of artifacts that could then be integrated into a globalized market for as long as the artisans are mutually interested in doing so.

Instead of activism and ‘providing help’, it is co-creation, the mutual exchange of information, and generating a dialogue between different forms of design practices.
