blogiversary at sunshine creations giving away a handmade apron - ends July 19

The Radical Cross Stitch Posse presents: The Fabric of Resistance is a non-heirarchical community created archive and celebration of radical craft action and organisation, past and present.

The wiki style archive has been established as a resource for radical craft practitioners, historians, students. Fabric of Resistance is a tribute to the creative resistance which is often marginalised by both crafters and activists, yet has provided the visionary spark for great uprisings, revolutions and major social change.

This wiki is a constant work in progress. So this is a call out is for the stories of women and men you know in your community who use craft as a form of resistance.

Please add your stories, preferably with images. We want to know names, dates and issues. But we’re especially interested in the stories behind the work. Tell us about the design processes as well as the creation process. If you want help with questions to ask people let us know. And please don’t hold back because you think some information you have is not significant enough. Even if you just remember someone’s name from some protest back in the day, add it in because it might be a good lead for some else to follow up on. Finally, please pass this information on to people you know who might want to help collect these stories. We need this call out to go as far and wide as possible.
