Project description

As soon as we dress, we communicate whether we want to or not. Clothing is a way of suggesting group affiliation or actively rejecting it. It is an opportunity for rebellion and a means of empowerment. Clothing moves us emotionally and can help us to be braver than we are. Clothing is scrutinised, evaluated and judged. Clothing is forbidden or enforced. Clothing has power.


 


Influenced by its feminist past, textile protest is still used today: centuries-old handicraft techniques such as knitting, crocheting, quilting, embroidery and weaving are used to stand up for political values in a contemporary way - craftivism for change.


 


Textile production techniques, often seen as less professional than other crafts, have a great impact in the form of activism. The ‘Made to Protest’ course looks at historical and contemporary works, develops its own designs and takes them to the streets.
