Crafting and Craftivism - Episode 5 of the Women's Grassroots Activism Podcast
from History Hub · host Historyhub.ie
In this final episode, Dr Anna Muggeridge, Deirdre Connery of the Irish Countrywomen's Association (ICA) and Joan Houston of Soroptimist International Great Britain and Ireland (SIGBI), Northern Irish Federation, discuss crafting and 'craftivism' in the ICA and SIGBI. We consider the importance of crafting to women historically and today, how these organisations have promoted and celebrated women's craft skills, and importantly the ways in which 'craftivism' has been used by women's organisations to raise awareness of complex and challenging issues and to engage in activism.
