Craftivism activity:

Linked to the new Disobedient Objects exhibition at V&A join us to provoke thought and discussion on global poverty and human rights injustices in this Craft Campaign workshop. Whilst making your own colourful mini cross-stitched banner, you will have an opportunity to reflect upon issues you care about in a social setting. Hang your completed banner in a relevant public space to engage others in the fight for a fairer world. 

Led Sarah Corbett, founder of the Craftivist Collective

Supported by Coats Crafts who provide all of the craft resources needed.
