An energetic, informative, and inspiring exploration of craftivism
- the intersection of art and activism - throughout American
history, with particular focus on the present day. Craftivism means
using handmade art to provoke, to interrupt, to draw attention, to
help others, and hopefully to bring change. Ever heard of the AIDS
Memorial Quilt, which helped raise awareness of the AIDS crisis in
the 1980s? That's craftivism. Remember the bright pink pussyhats
from the Women's March in 2017? That's craftivism, too. In Crafting
Change, author Jessica Vitkus interviews modern craftivists and
scholars who study political crafting of the past. This full-color
book includes their own words, historical context, over 100 photos
of the artists and their work. The result is an engaging narrative
that reads like a mix-tape of the craftivist greats. It's a perfect
book for teens who want to find creative ways to change the world
for the better, even including step- by-step instructions to get
readers started on their own craftivist journey.
