Craftivism is the act of usiing art/craft as a p
olitical tool or a tool to enhance the strength of
a event or action.

The strength comes from the cooperation and unification of
each individual, each contributing their own craft as their voice.


My craft physically symbolize the concept of love and peace. If it was to be
into a love or peace movement it would sort of in its little way increase
awareness. For me induvidually and others who look beyond the concept of physicallity
and simplicity, my piece can ve viewed as an actist way of thinkging.  The union of
each piece symbolizes each individual and each contribution within the whole
project.

Buying a craft from an individual, after you know their purpoe for
making the craft, is a form of actism because it supports their causee.
