On the Same Page Presents: Craftivism 101 Workshop with Shannon Downey of Badass Cross Stitch

Thu Sep 23, 2021 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Bechtel Engineering Center
Get acquainted with craftivism, learn to embroider, stitch something brilliant, and make friends—all in just 2 hours! Craft-based activism has been used as a tool of resistance, coalition building, and even espionage! Learn from Shannon Downey aka Badass Cross Stitch —a leader in the modern craftivism movement. She will provide an introduction to the history of craftivism and ways you can get involved in the modern movement. Shannon will then teach you how to embroider and use the shared reading, The Undocumented Americans, by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio as a catalyst for our making and dialogue. It will be a unique and fun way to connect with other students and stab it out! Materials will be provided. Workshop will take place in person with Shannon Zooming in. Open to UC Berkeley undergraduates only. Pre-registration required.
