Craftivism

Responding to the resurgent interest in craft as it relates to socially engaged art practice, 'Craftivism' (12 December 2009 - 14 February 2010) is a contemporary art project that involves thirteen projects developed by artists and collectives that work with craft-based traditions and activist practices, and who employ the tactics of 'craftivism' (combining crafting and activism) to question and disrupt the prevailing codes of mass consumerism.
