Craftivism is a form of activism that uses craft as a tool for social, political and collective expression and action. In this hands-on workshop, learn and make symbolic ribbon badges, or rosettes, notably used by women's voting rights activists and other historical uses of craft in protesting and patriotism acts across Arkansas and these history making Arkansans fighting for their communities using everyday domestic arts. 

"Craftivism is a way of looking at life where voicing opinions through creativity makes your voice stronger, your compassion deeper & your quest for justice more infinite"
