“I Am Who I Am”Jerkič, Tajda (Avtor) Zavratnik, Veronika (Avtor) handicraftsLjubljanayoung peoplelabourcreativityethnologyanthropologyartistic craftsprecarious workdigitalizationyoung adultsLjubljana (Slovenia)The article focuses on young craftspeople in Ljubljana who work outside of formal institutions, remaining beyond the scope of the new legal framework introduced in 2023. Drawing on ethnographic research, it explores their motivations, digital learning practices, hybrid identities, and their relationship to labour and the market. Particular attention is given to digital platforms, which simultaneously enable access to knowledge, visibility, and networking, while also generating new forms of unpaid labour and the pressure of constant online presence. The article focuses on how informal infrastructures – including peer networks, digital communities, and temporary events – sustain handicraft practices under uncertain and often precarious conditions, without eliminating these conditions.20262026-07-22 09:42:34Članek v reviji185077UDK: 39:745/749:004.9ISSN pri članku: 2820-6088DOI: 10.4312/svetovi.4.2.49-66COBISS_ID: 285646595slLjubljana (Slovenija);
