Craftivism

Name: Craftivism

Profile: The Etsy Craftivism Team is a team of
progressive Etsyans who believe that craft and art can
change the world. Some of us use our work to carry
messages of protest and political activism. Others
believe that the act of making craft can be an act of
resistance. Still others see that by buying and
selling directly from the maker we are challenging the
all pervasive corporate culture that promotes profit
over people. Some of our members make t-shirts,
jewelry, pottery, and art with
creative,thought-provoking messages. Others spin yarn,
sew, hammer, forge, glue, knit, knot, alter and sculpt
with an eye towards creating new forms of commerce and
the making of goods. We gather to learn about and
promote each other’s work; to learn about how art and
craft are being used as acts of resistance and change
around the world, and to creatively join forces in
order to spend less, sell more, and empower each other
so that we can work towards a more hopeful, thoughtful
future.
