In a world at a constant crossroads of despair and disruption, chapter contributors provide a clear-eyed assessment of specific craft-activism campaigns since the \"Pussyhats,\" focusing on the most pressing political issues of our time, as people seek to stitch a world aligned with their belief systems that is built on a DIY-ethos of hands-on community building.\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters explore the impact of craftivism in the late digital age, where hands-on production and creativity can serve as an antidote to the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence and a pervasive mistrust of political processes. Does craftivism serve any meaningful purpose at a time when it's been increasingly corporatized in a capitalistic system devoted to profits and divisive sloganism? Can craftivism do more than amplify political divisions and reinforce suspicions of perceived ideological enemies, or can it model a more expressive and inclusive activist platform around the globe? With contributions from among the most prominent thinkers on DIY civic engagement, Global Craftivism since the Pussyhats- Handcraft Responses to Violence, War, Illness and Isolation, gives politically expressive crafting its due as a powerful social force.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47839610568862,"sku":"UBD-9798881801359","price":139.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9798881801359.jpg?v=1781075414","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9798881801359","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
