FAQ About The Role of Craftivism in Political Discourse

Craftivism is a form of activism where craft projects are used to promote social, political, or environmental messages. It combines craft—such as knitting, sewing, embroidery—with activism to create political or social change. The term was popularized by activist Betsy Greer in the early 2000s. It draws on the comforting and handmade nature of crafts to communicate ideas and motivate change on a more personal and emotional level.
