Recenzii
Set within the context of late-stage capitalism, Hinda Mandell's 'Crafting Choice' is an unflinching, clear-eyed look at how handwork has become a force for activism, removed from the realms of passive domesticity and reclaimed as an act of protest. It's a galvanising, encouraging voice for anyone questioning the role craft has to play in pro-choice body politics and social commentary generally, whichever path you follow. I felt a shiver of recognition and solidarity . and above all, hope.
Using two contemporary craftivist projects as case studies, Crafting Choice affirms the importance of both the materiality of handcrafted textiles and the act of making these objects as central to their raison d'être and, thus, to their impact as scenes of protest. By systematically exploring the performative value of craftivism, Mandell emphasises the value of handcraft itself as expression, as protest, as community, and as a site imbued with collective memory, emotion, and the will to affect social change.
