FAQ About The Impact of Globalization on Indigenous Artisans
How do mass-produced goods threaten indigenous arts in a globalized world?
Mass-produced goods pose a threat to indigenous arts as they often mimic traditional designs and sell at lower prices due to economies of scale. This competition can devalue the artisan's original work and make it harder for them to compete. The proliferation of replicas undermines the uniqueness and cultural significance of genuine indigenous crafts, which can lead to a decline in traditional craft production.
