What is "craftivism"?
Craftivism is a movement that combines crafting with activism. It involves creating handmade items, like knitted pieces, embroidered textiles, or other crafts, to raise awareness about social, political, or environmental issues. The idea behind craftivism is to use the gentle, personal touch of crafting to communicate messages of change, protest, or support in a thoughtful and often non-confrontational way. Craftivists believe that making something by hand can be a powerful tool for expressing ideas, building community, and inspiring positive action.
