Craftivism

Learn how to protest through crafts with this explainer.

“Craftivism” is the intersection of crafting and the pursuit of political change. It’s sometimes referred to as the “gentle protest method.” Like-minded crafters gather in groups to practice their arts and talk about politics. Sometimes, Craftivism can take on a bigger mission, like when people come together to produce something that makes a political statement or provides mutual aid to serve a community’s needs (such as knitting hats for your local homeless community).
