Crafting Change: Handmade Activism, Past and Present
- only 3 left in stock
This book explores Craftivism, the intersection of art and activism, throughout American history and with an eye to the present.
In the US, teens have a tradition of protesting injustice and effecting change that older generations can’t. Craftivism uses handmade art to provoke, interrupt, draw attention, help others, and bring about change. Examples include the AIDS Memorial Quilt and the bright pink pussyhats from the Women’s March.
Author Jessica Vitkus interviews modern craftivists and scholars who study political crafting. The book includes their words, historical context, and over 100 photos of artists and their work. It’s an engaging narrative that combines the craftivist greats.
It’s perfect for teens seeking creative ways to change the world, with step-by-step instructions to start their own craftivist journey.
