Conversations With Aadyam

Journal background
I have an inherent trepidation for the use of this word — 'Revivalist', especially in the craft space. Somehow it always made me cautious and seemed to hold a lot of undue gravitas. Not unfounded, when I realized that its dictionary meaning is very appropriately different from its colloquial usage. A revivalist in its purest form is defined as one who conducts religious revivals. One who actively pursues, a religious re-awakening or restoration to spiritual ideas.
Getting back to 'revivalists' in the crafts sector, it amuses me no end to see it being used freely, openly, and in the highest regard without much ado. A prominent figure, William Morris, in the Arts and Crafts Movement sought to revive traditional craftsmanship and design in the late 19th century.
