In a world at a constant crossroads of despair and disruption, chapter contributors provide a clear-eyed assessment of specific craft-activism campaigns since the \"Pussyhats,\" focusing on the most pressing political issues of our time, as people seek to stitch a world aligned with their belief systems that is built on a DIY-ethos of hands-on community building. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters explore the impact of craftivism in the late digital age, where hands-on production and creativity can serve as an antidote to the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence and a pervasive mistrust of political processes. Does craftivism serve any meaningful purpose at a time when it's been increasingly corporatized in a capitalistic system devoted to profits and divisive sloganism? Can craftivism do more than amplify political divisions and reinforce suspicions of perceived ideological enemies, or can it model a more expressive and inclusive activist platform around the globe? With contributions from among the most prominent thinkers on DIY civic engagement, Global Craftivism since the Pussyhats: Handcraft Responses to Violence, War, Illness and Isolation, gives politically expressive crafting its due as a powerful social force.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hinda Mandell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798881801359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Hinda Mandell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47637412151551,"sku":"9798881801359","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adcf385e-15f8-4606-9b0a-793f8ea0918d.jpg?v=1765116040","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-craftivism-since-the-pussyhats-hinda-mandell-9798881801359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
