Ever heard of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, which helped raise awareness of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s? That's craftivism. Remember the bright pink pussyhats from the Women's March in 2017? That's craftivism, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eCrafting Change\u003c\/em\u003e, author Jessica Vitkus interviews modern craftivists and scholars who study political crafting of the past. This full-color book includes their own words, historical context, and over 100 photos of the artists and their work.
