Another media outlet "discovers" #Craftivism
I do wish these stories wouldn't always focus on whether craft activism is performative. I make things because I cannot not make things. Other aspects of my life, including my political feelings, influence what I make. That's what art fucking is, but call it craft and suddenly everybody and their mother has a shitty opinion as to it's worth 🤷♀️
