Craftivism Notes, 1/31/17
- Sampler- lots of materials put together; a mix
- Associate certain materials to grandmother, many believe crafting is silly, not serious
- Crafting doesn't have to be silly- you can create something with the intent to make something bigger
- Injustice is ugly and sad, but it can be transformed into art
- Youth (or other audience,) empowerment, craftivism
- Betsy Greer, Craftivism: The Art of Craft and Activities
- Sarah Corbett, A Little Book of Craftivism
- AIDS blanket, signs for marches, crocheted uteruses
- How do adults reach out to kids? How can that be successful?
- Increased number of developmental assets met leads to an increased success in adulthood
- A lack of developmental assets may cause children to lose perspective of the value of their own lives
- Craftifesto- power in your hands—powerful, personal, political, possible
- Donate in a meaningful way, not a wasteful way
- A thing isn't just a thing, it's what happened to it before it landed in your hand
