Description
Crafted with Pride: Queer Craft and Activism in Contemporary Britain This collection of critical essays, oral histories, and creative responses explores the relationship between craft, queerness, and activism in Britain since the 1980s. For too long, the stories of queer craft and DIY activism have remained undocumented and under researched. Daniel Fountain sheds light on this important history, bringing together contributions from a range of experts and creative practitioners. The book draws on case studies such as the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, the Museum of Transology, and the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt, as well as reflections from contemporary artists and activists. By examining the connections between craft, queerness, and activism, Crafted with Pride offers a nuanced understanding of the ways in which creative practices have been used to promote social change and challenge dominant narratives. This collection will be of interest to those seeking to understand the role of craft and activism in shaping queer histories and experiences in Britain.
