The Craftivist Collective Handbook
Description
Twenty Gentle Protest craft projects to help you make a positive difference in our world.
If we want our world to be more beautiful, kind and fair, can we make our activism more beautiful, kind and fair? 'Gentle Protest' is a unique methodology of strategic, compassionate and visually intriguing activism using handicrafts as a tool. Since its creation in 2009, the award-winning global Craftivist Collective has helped change laws, policies, hearts and minds around the world as well as expand the view of what activism can be.
Dreams inspire positive action, so stitch a Dream Cloud to hang up at home or work and prompt you to think past a problem to the solution. Sew a Gentle Nudge Label to help keep your conscience sharp and your spirit strong. Craft your own Mini Protest Banner to turn heads and influence change, or fly solidarity's flag for those suffering as a result of the world's injustices. Stitcha Handmade Hedgerow to champion one of the solutions to the climate crisis or if you are nervous about protesting in public or if there's a ban on public rallies where you live, let a doll speak your truth by creating a Toy Protest.
This handbook is for everyone, wherever you are in the world: whether you are a skilled crafter or a burnt-out activist, an introvert, highly sensitive person, or struggling with anxiety or overwhelm. These 20 projects and tools use the slow, soothing and thoughtful process of craft to help channel feelings of sadness, anger or powerlessness into proactive, encouraging effective actions to help make hope possible.
