From Craftivism
Crafting + activismCraftivism is a contemporary art project that responds to the resurgent interest in craft as it relates to socially-engaged art practices. Craftivism will involve fourteen projects developed by artists and collectives that work with craft-based traditions and activist practices, and who employ the tactics of craftivism (combining crafting + activism) to question, disrupt or replace the dominant modes of mass culture and consumerism.
Artists: Kayle Brandon + Heath Bunting / Rhiannon Chaloner + Manuel Vason/ glorious ninth / GOTO10 / Rui Guerra / Christine + Irene Hohenbuchler / Household / JODI / Mandy McIntosh / Gloria Ojulari Sule / Trevor Pitt + Kate Pemberton / Janek Simon / Stephanie Syjuco / Clare Thornton / and projects produced with participants.
Craftivism is an Arnolfini / Relational project. |
Create your eventunCraftivism is a satellite event of Craftivism. unCraftivism is uncurated. Your work will not be judged, or restricted by a theme, nor does it have to be finished. unCraftivism is self-organized. You organize and promote your own event, whether an art piece, a performance, a talk, a workshop, a meal, a song, a party or an undefinable event.
