| Summary: | "An energetic, informative, and inspiring exploration of craftivism -- the intersection of art and activism -- throughout American history, with particular focus on the present day"-- "Craftivism" means using handmade art to provoke, to interrupt, to draw attention to help others, and hopefully to spark change. Vitkus examines historical ways crafting served a political purpose, and introduces readers to current-day makers and agitators who craft to make a statement. In showing artists and art in action, she encourages readers to get started on their own craftivist journey. -- adapted from back cover |
