Project Craftivism |
Craft + Activism = Craftivism= Changing the world & reaching out one person (human & non-human) at a time through craftivism and art. These are the projects that I get up to in my craftivism...all my finished projects are veganized in order to be both human & non-human-friendly. Know of any projects? Submit them! No? Pick one here and get involved! :) |
Loved reading “Knitting for Good” by Betsy Greer! It pretty much emphasized what I felt when I realized that I really wanted to learn to knit - for good!
It’s also therapeutic, a way to stand up against consumerism and the exploitation of laborers, good for the environment, a way to help your community, spread love, and make someone’s day (ever try leaving a scarf on a bench with a tag that says “for you! take me home!”, etc….
If you ever wondered how to use your craft for good…be sure to get your second-hand copy for inspiration.
I think this interview is a good example of why someone would take up craftivism and how they apply it to their local community as Ms. Greer explains in her book.
