So to me it was like they hijacked the term just to draw interest but there was no statement in the work that spoke of something new being done with crafts. To me it isn't anything to do with liberalism (where did they get that idea), or making and selling crafts. It is about taking a traditional form and using it in a non traditional way and in the process it makes a statement passively or actively. Great post and I enjoy your perspective :) regards Corrine off to check your links I wrote about this on my blog too where two news articles talked about craftivism but I couldn’t see the ism part, just craft.
