craftivism

speaking of subversive knitting...i found craftivism, a site self-described as being "based on the idea that activism + craft = craftivism. That each time you participate in crafting you are making a difference, whether it's fighting against useless materialism or making items for charity or something betwixt and between. It's about the not-so-radical notion that activists can be crafters, and crafters can be activists."

craftivisim running an 'artist / crafter documentary project' & i'm interested in seeing the results. i've been thinking of starting a similar project because it's interesting that crafting is finding it's way back into popular culture. it used to be that people knit because they had to. now they knit because they want to, and also in some cases because they have something to say. crafting's a serious time investment - and these days time is hard to come by.
