craftivism
Craftivism is a form of activism, typically incorporating elements of anti-capitalism, environmentalism or third-wave feminism, that is centered on practices of craft - or what can traditionally be referred to as "domestic arts". Craftivism includes, but is not limited to, various forms of needlework. Craftivism is a social process of collective empowerment, action, expression and negotiation. In craftivism, engaging in the social, performative and critical discourse around the work is central to its production and dissemination. 〔Carpenter, Ele. "Activist Tendencies in Craft". http://research.gold.ac.uk/3109/, 2010.〕 Practitioners are known as craftivists.
== Background ==
The term craftivism was coined in 2003 by writer Betsy Greer in order to join the separate spheres of craft and activism.〔
〕 Her favorite self-created definition of the term states, "craftivism is a way of looking at life where voicing opinions through creativity makes your voice stronger, your compassion deeper & your quest for justice more infinite"
Although the term craftivism is a recent addition to crafting lexicon, the use of craft as a subversive tactic can be found throughout history. First, the word craft is often associated with trickery. To call someone crafty is to identify them as clever and cunning In Greek, one would say to "spin" a plot. Similarly, the French word for trick is tricoter, which means to tie or knot together. In the novel ''A Tale of Two Cities'', the character Madame Defarge, a worker for the French Revolution, secretly encodes the names of those soon to be executed in her knitting.
