Craftivism is a form of
activism, typically incorporating elements of
anti-capitalism,
environmentalism or
third-wave feminism, that is centered on practices of
craft - or what can traditionally be referred to as "domestic arts". Craftivism includes, but is not limited to, various forms of needlework. Craftivism is a social process of collective empowerment, action, expression and negotiation. In craftivism, engaging in the social, performative and critical discourse around the work is central to its production and dissemination. Practitioners are known as
craftivists.
