An Activism Handbook for Artists, Crafters, Creatives, and Makers

Shannon Downey

Description

Create change in the world with this inspiring guide to social activism, using art as a vehicle for creative resistance and community building.

In Let's Move the Needle, Shannon Downey, an outspoken voice in the craftivist movement for over a decade, meets burgeoning art activists where they are and provides a roadmap and accessible toolkit for every leg of their activist journey.

Filled with self-reflective activities, exercises and prompts, along with practical stories about the work of other art activists across mediums and throughout history, the book educates and empowers creatives to centre their art around collective action in service of political, social or community issues they are most passionate about; affirming that everyone can be a changemaker and that change-making can be generative, enjoyable and a bit sassy!
