Borderlands Session 5: Conversation between Church and City Craftivism

Borderlands: Conversations between church and city craftivism Craftivism.com defines Craftivism as, “a way of looking at life where voicing opinions through creativity makes your voice stronger, your compassion deeper & your quest for justice more infinite.” It is that compassion and quest for justice that will be explored in this talk. This month we will be trying a slightly different format with Borderlands. You are invited to watch a 'Wes Talk' produced by the New Room in Bristol. The talk will be on Monday 17 May, 7.30-8.30pm; or you can download the talk to watch here: https://www.newroombristol.org.uk/product/wes-talks-craftivism-how-can-you-gain-a-political-voice-through-craft/ Borderlands will meet on Tuesday 25 May at 7.30 to discuss this talk on Craftivism and to engage with the issues that it raises. At the Wes Talk, nationally recognised campaigner, Katy Styles will speak on her experience as founder of the We Care Campaign. Katy will be joined by Revd. Rachel Parkinson, who has a passion for building community through collaborative craft and Revd. Michaela Youngson, a glass-fuser with a passion for social justice. As well as sharing case studies, their conversation will include a discussion on how much of an impact can be made through the use of craft.
