The Fabric of Resistance
The Radical Cross Stitch Posse are proud to announce the arrival of their new baby. Out of the clicks of the needles and the desire to celebrate our wonderful creative communities, an internet archive of the herstory of radical craft has been born.
The Fabric of Resistance is a non-hierarchical, community-created archive and celebration of radical craft action and organization, past and present. The wiki-style archive has been established as a resource for radical craft practitioners, historians, and students. Fabric of Resistance is a tribute to the creative resistance which is often marginalized by both crafters and activists, yet has provided the visionary spark for great uprisings, revolutions and major social change.
The Posse says:
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.
