Craftivism. Dissident Objects and Subversive Forms continues at the Museum of Ausralian Democracy. On until 2 February 2020 Craftivism presents the work of 18 contemporary Australian artists who utilise craft based materialities with a political intent. Broadening our understanding of craft-making traditions, the artists in this exhibition subvert and extend these forms into the realm of activism and social change, reflecting on the world in which we live. While some respond directly to artistic or political movements, others encourage social connection between community members or require participatory activation through collective processes.
If you’re in Canberra go have a look at how Craftivism. Dissident Objects and Subversive Forms enables viewers to rethink craft in a new light.

#Repost from @oldparliamenthouse of @raquelormella with her work in Craftivism. Dissident Objects and Subversive Forms ... 'It's not a kind of activism which is about going and blockading and being there present... it is, in some respect, an act of solidarity with that in the studio'

Engaging in activism while she's waiting in line for her coffee, while she's in between classes and as she gets ready for bed, artist @raquelormella uses craft techniques to explore political issues that matter to her.

Ormella’s works 'Blockade in my studio for the Pilliga Forest #1' and 'Blockade in my studio for the Pilliga Forest #2' are currently on display in 'Craftivism. Dissident objects + subversive forms' - @oldparliamenthouse until February 2020.
