CRAFT SOCIAL: CRAFTIVISM

Craftivism provides an avenue through which artists can channel their creative energy, share their voices and experiences, and make the world a better place.  At Craft Social, meet Verónica Hernandez, a Protest Banner Lending Librarycollaborator, and learn how the library creates safe spaces in which communities can work together to address their concerns about current socio-political issues. Take action, and make your own protest sign using a variety of provided materials to create a statement that speaks to your own quest or social cause. Participants will also work together as a group to create a protest banner, based on a local Houston issue, that will be donated to the Protest Banner Lending Library.

Participants in the previous evening’s Protest Banner Workshop will also display their finished banners at this event.
