“Craftivism brings people together and gives us purpose”
Craftivists #wellMAKING Garden demonstrates public’s desire for meaningful activity
More than 750 knitted, crocheted and stitched flowers made an eye-catching focal point at the Craftivists #wellMAKING Garden exhibition on Tuesday, the culmination of a six month project that saw over 50 stitch-ins held across the UK.
Funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council and run jointly between Craftivist Collective, Falmouth University, Arts for Health and Voluntary Arts, the aim of the #wellMAKING project was to encourage people to think about the nature of wellbeing using craft as a reflective tool.
With the World Health Organisation including “contributing to society” as one of their paths to wellbeing, organisers encouraged people to think about how they could be the best version of themselves in order to make the world a better place.
Feedback gathered via a dedicated app and at events around the country was overwhelmingly positive, with participants reporting numerous benefits from their craftivism experience:
“This project has helped me to engage other people in crafting and with activism. It’s helpful to have a ‘thing’ to do whilst you talk. It gives you reflection time.”
“Creating gave me confidence to make change in myself and society around me.”
“Crafting encourages me not to buy cheaply made sweatshop clothes because I value the time and effort that workers have put in more than the low prices charged for some fashion goods.”
“Before this project I didn’t think about how crafting contributes to society. Now I realise the many different levels that it can impact on and how we communicate with each other through craft. Crafting, art and making can break down social barriers.”
“While I was making the flower I thought a lot about the connection between flowers or plants and human development. We’ll only realise our potential if we are in the right soil type.”
More than 70 people attended Tuesday’s sold out event in Aldgate East, London, to see the floral exhibition and hear talks from project supporters including John McMahon, Head of Learning & Talent at Crafts Council, and George McKay, professor of media studies at East Anglia University.
The evening ended with a group discussion where many of those gathered expressed an interest in seeing the project continue. A number of events have already been planned, which will see the floral installation tour the UK, as well as groups creating their own versions.
Organiser Sarah Corbett, founder of Craftivist Collective, said: “Craftivism brings people together and gives us purpose. We’ve had all sorts of people involved, young, old, male, female, bloggers, crafters, activists, NGOs, galleries, community groups. It shows that people really want craft with meaning and purpose. They love craft, but they also love to use craft as a tool to reflect critically on how they can contribute to making the world a better place. People took up the project in their own way but still with that ethos of critical thinking. It will be exciting, now that people have the tools, to see how they continue to grow and develop what we’ve started.”

feedback f s f -r s ns is composed of two robots, and is in the form of a closed system with interlaced feedback, i.e, the output of one robot is the input of the other. the system generates visual compositions as the robots alter their environments and influence each others’ behaviors.
materials: various reflective and refractive media, micro-controllers, motors, lasers, sensors.
in detail:
robot 1>>
senses: emf
output: slowly rotates a glass tumbler containing reflective/refractive media.
robot 2>>
senses light/motion
output: light, fluctuations in the emf field (via motor induction, phosphorescing of chemicals on the sensor of robot 1).
robot 1 is programmed to sense changes in the emf field around it and reposition a container of reflective/refractive media proportionally by spinning a motor.
robot 2 is composed of three servo/laser components programed to survey the surface of robot 1′s glass tumbler and define quadrants of highly reflective points on the tumbler’s surface.
robot 2 is programmed to draw straight lines with a laser on the curved, translucent, rotating surface of robot 1. the light from the lasers pass through a rotating tumbler (robot 1) filled with a mixture of reflective, and refractive media.
as the beams of light pass through the tumbler, their trajectories are refracted and the resulting altered beams strike a treated sensor plate and phosphoresce.
the phosphorescing and servo motor movement ripple the emf field and robot 1 spins the tumbler accordingly. the moving tumbler causes robot 2 to re-scan the surface of the tumbler, etc.
According to a recent study, only 10% of municipal websites in Ukraine have sufficient instruments for receiving citizen feedback or providing interactive service delivery.
The Open Budget initiative is a pilot project supported by UNDP in Ukraine and Internews’ Center for Innovation and Learning to bring together civil servants, civil society workers, and journalists to figure out ways to better share municipal budget information with the public.

Suggested flavours, Tom's Palette. Part of the decor at this ice cream parlour is a cork board with Post-it notes of feedback and suggested new flavours. The home-made ice cream comes in unusual flavours, while the usual ones seem extra dense and yummy. I've had salty caramel, chocolate (texture of fudge cake) and a taste of chrysanthemum which I thought too delicate. You get free tastes as some of the more unusual flavours may not wow some people.
A kueh lapis is a spiced Indonesian cake made in layers, while I think the writer means bubble tea and not tea with plain bubbles in it.
I requested some feedback from the people who came to the Open IAI discussion on September 9, but forgot to ask if I could share their feedback openly, so I made this on Wordle to at least expose some things that got highlighted in what we heard.
Deze fotoserie heb ik gemaakt ter illustratie van mijn blogbericht Feedback - een kwestie van geven en nemen.

My one year old standard poodle, Jake. Taken on our evening walk. Jake is hot and tired out- and so you can easily see his beautiful black birthmark at the back of his tongue. I was walking my two dogs, and an off leash dog started to run in circles around us. My strong, giant Jake got all in tangles with me and my Lisette, and managed to get loose and to take off to play with the loose dog. All would have been fine, if we weren't in the middle of metropolitan Miami, right by a major artery at rush hour. I was frantic, trying to get Jake, before he ran right into the street. A passerby helped, and luckily we captured him, safe and sound. Then we continued on our walk-- and stopped at this lovely spot. What a scare my Jake gave me.

This is the visual equivalent of that loud squeal you hear if you've ever put a microphone too close to the speaker that is amplifying it. The sound goes into an accelerating circle called feedback and it has been known to crack open the weakly constituted's skulls on occasion, so use caution looking at this photo. I had the camera hooked up to the tv and took a picture of the screen which was displaying the viewfinder and that visual circle produced this result. Seems like there would be some interesting tricks to play here, This was just a quickie shot, otherwise, you wouldn't see out my front window
I am not a photographer nor do I pretend to be. I am just a man with a camera that takes photos to express myself.
I have had to learn so much since I lost my partner in crime but it has just pushed me to be more creative.
I hope that I can get some feedback in how to grow and learn more so that some day I can get better with this hobby.

During my keynote presentation at the Durham Blackboard Users conference (7th January 2014) I asked the audience to draw the 'architecture of participation' for their organisation.

Having recently taken possession of my house near Theniswarar Nagar, #Vellalore, I firstly thank you for the quality work you have done in my house. As I mentioned, I and my family are extremely happy with the house. We thank each one of your staff who worked towards this project.
Based on interaction with you over the last 15 months, I now equate the below attributes to #CBEShaktheBuilders:
- Trustworthiness
- A deep desire and intent to produce #Quality output
- Going beyond just #commercial interests
- A human touch to the #real-estate / #housing #business
I congratulate the management and every staff of CBE Shakthe Builder for building such a culture. I strongly encourage you to build on these basic values around which you will grow your company and business in the coming years. For all of my #friends and relatives who are looking for a trustworthy builder, I will have no hesitation in recommending you.
Thank you and wish you all the best
