I've been an activist since the age of 3 but never felt like I fitted into lots of activist groups. I've worked for large charities such as Oxfam as a professional campaigner for 7 years and saw that craft could help tackle some of the concerns I have about activism.
Activism often conjures up quick transactional signing of petitions, clicktivism, loud and aggressive ways to demand justice. I created these Craftivist Collective projects and tools to provide 'slow activism' that uses craft as a meditative tool to stop, reflect and act on injustice issues in a transformative, gentle and hopeful way.

Full description
Craftivism is activism using craft.
Fly solidarity’s flag for those suffering as a result of the world’s injustices. Craft your own banner, turn heads and influence change.
Make a cross-stitched protest banner about an issue you care about and hang it in a relevant public space to provoke thought and discussion. By making it small and hanging it off eye level, people have a sense that they have chosen to engage with the message, rather than it being forced upon them. Plus the slow, therapeutic nature of craft helps you reflect on injustices and how we can be the change we wish to see in the world.
What’s inside:
Cross stitch aida
