Abstract:

The contemporary practice of ‘craftivism’—which uses crafts such as knitting, sewing and embroidery to draw attention to ‘issues of social, political and environmental justice’ (Fitzpatrick 2018: 3)—has its origins in centuries of radical craft work where women and marginalised peoples, in particular, have employed crafts to protest, take a stand or comment on issues that concern them. Recently, craftivist actions have targeted the fashion and textile industry in an effort to highlight and address some of the social and environmental impacts of the global fashion industry, from the throwaway c

Abstract:

In this paper, we argue for craftivism as a form of social activism with a political depth reached through making. From Mary Wollstonecraft to the suffragettes, Betsy Greer to DIY, craftivism has had a place in feminist activism. The human tradition for making objects combined with the online possibility of documentation, has made craftivism a political weapon. But it is a soft weapon, where the power lies in the pain and suffering it reminds us off. This protest is often performed by women and history shows that this is why craft has been seen as something other than art, and as a form of pol

Craftivism is an ongoing movement, combining craft with activism, to bring about positive change in the world. There is a growing emphasis on the need for occupational therapists to engage with the politics of the profession to tackle occupational challenges and injustice. This opinion piece considers whether, with the historical links to and resurgence of craft internationally within the profession, now is the time for occupational therapists to engage in craftivism to effect positive change and transformation for a just and inclusive society.

Abstract:

The specific relationship of female textile artists and crafters and political engagement has a long history and its social relevance is gaining more and more academic attention these days. At the same time, within recent still trending textile and fashion movements like DIY, Slow Fashion, Slow Crafting and Craftivism, the different sociocultural forms of female crafting circles and communities that have been at the margin of fashion studies under the non-fashionable term of ‘domestic arts’ are also getting more attention.

Abstract Craftivism combines craft and activism. This paper contributes to the field of contemporary culture, mission, and creative making by examining the Christmas Angels project, in which local churches yarn-bomb hand-knitted angels, as an ecclesial expression of craftivism. Recipient responses to this fresh expression of Christian witness are analysed by examination of over 1,100 ‘#xmasangel’ tweets. Analysis reveals a found theology, in which angels are received with joy and surprise, understood in the context of love, experienced as a place-based gift and embody a participative making. A

It then explores a specific urban knitting initiative, called “Mettiamoci una pezza” (“Let’s patch it”), carried out in L’Aquila, Italy, 3 years after the earthquake that devastated the city in 2009.

India’s fashion industry experienced spectacular growth in the decades after economic liberalization.

Most recently, however, a newer generation of designers shunned the visual exuberance that had become the hallmark of Indian couture.

As people in almost all countries in the world, Indonesians are currently struggling to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic by making their activities more selective and prioritizing their needs based on needs. Mental health is also a priority, and more attention needs to be paid to personal and environmental hygiene issues. The RajutKejut Community is a group of female crocheters who ‘yarn bomb’ in public spaces using crochet works. Given pandemic conditions, where most activities are limited, and loneliness and social isolation have become major concerns, this group remains connected using advan

Abstract:

While craft foregrounds the material, embodied, and affective nature of making practices, it also has capacities as a political resource which recognises the value of everyday materiality in creating the conditions for change to emerge. In this article, we explore these possibilities by focusing on craftivism, a diffuse social movement that uses traditional craft skills of hand making to address a wide range of complex societal and organizational causes and challenges. We draw on an empirical study of craftivists to explore how they use craft as a political resource to organise change by gener

Abstract:

When lockdown started, my anxiety kept me on a tight string—I (author 1) remember drowning in intense, omnipresent agitation as I used every “extra” moment I could to research mask styles, adapt patterns published online or distributed by different organizations to increase access to masks for better functionality, and distribute masks to those who needed them via an old ice cream bucket on my front bench. Yet, I recognized that the time I used, my ability to quarantine and so much more contributed to my privilege in doing so. I (author 2) had no masks on hand, so after watching a few tutorial

Abstract:

Welcome Blanket was created as a craftivism response to Trump’s call for a border wall. “Imagine if the massive distance of this wall was re-conceptualized and re-contextualized not to divide, but to include. Instead of a wall, a concrete line, to keep people out, what if lines of yarn became 3,500,640 yards of blankets to welcome people in?” The 3,200-blanket goal was quickly achieved and shown in the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago. Then, with enclosed notes from the makers welcoming newly arrived immigrants, the blankets were distributed to refugees and immigrants in severa
