Inviting festival-goers to slow down, reflect on how to be a loving activist and citizen, and hand-make healthy and strategic responses to injustices harming our world. Expect thoughtful provocation and threads of radical hope woven through every session across the weekend.
There were so many opportunities to find out more about – and take part in – Sarah’s gentle, quiet and creative campaigning.
A packed weekend for Sarah who wanted to do even more but there was no capacity:
1. Sold out and oversubscribed 'Stitchable Changemakers' 90min workshop for 50 participants to learn how they could use their gifts, talents, content and power to be the most effective and compassionate gentle protesters on issues they care about
2. 1. Sold out and oversubscribed 'Dream-Making ' 90min workshop for 50 participants to channel their anger and sadness at injustices they see into focusing on what utopian visions they want to see, hear, smell, touch and even taste as their dream
(e.g. save the bees changes to 'I dream of happy bees') which then helps each maker learn ways they can be part of the dream they wish to see - all based on neuroscience.
3. "Crafterthoughts' evening session where craftivists brought their own projects to Show and tell us about including the successes, challenges, learnings and answer any questions by others. Some people came with half formed ideas they wanted advice on from the group on how to deliver effectively and strategically. Some people came just to listen and learn. All made new connections and friends and you could feel the solidarity and encouragement in the room!
4. Sunday sunset last event was our climate craftivism performance: Craftivist Collective members joined members of Leena Norms’ Gumption Club wearing their upcycled 'Canary Craftivists' outfits to walk silently through the festival and sit as a flock to send photos and a handmade happy lifesized canary to the local MP and the owner of the festival grounds to encourage them to protest Greenbelt festival from the climate crisis and do what they can to act faster and bolder to create a healthier world
5. Planned pop-up appearance at The Caravan of Love for passersby to take part in a 10minute drop in craftivism workshop supporting Fashion Revolution to take home and 'shop drop'
6. Planned pop-up appearance under a free in the festival's mini forest area for passersby to take part in a 15minute drop in craftivism workshop choosing one of 5 Gentle Nudge messages on woven labels to sew into their clothes or accessories to encourage them as kind citizens and stewards of our planet
7. Overflowing tent of hundreds of people for Sarah interviewing Patrick Grant: BBC Great British Sewing Bee judge and fashion designer interviewing him about his work and book 'Less' whilst 3 craftivists sat on stage with us silently make Mini Fashion Statements during the session that Patrick then threw out into the audience encouraging them to 'shop-drop' these handwritten mini scrolls into fast fashion shop pockets or their friends pockets to encourage shoppers to ask 'who made these clothes' and be curious consumers
8. Sarah wrote and handstitched a prayer she was asked to read at the Sunday Communion on stage infront of thousands of attendees.
9. Throughout the festival Sarah was interviewed for social media teams for Greenbelt, Christian Aid and podcasts and had informal conversations with festival goers

American Jews refuse to be pawns in Trump’s dangerous foreign policy game, and we oppose this cruel provocation that will feed anger and unrest and put thousands of Israelis and Palestinians in danger.
Jerusalem is a holy city that represents the brightest future imaginable to many. It is a city where the three Abrahamic faiths have peacefully coexisted at many moments in history. But right now, Jerusalem is a city of violence and pain as some of the most extreme elements of Israeli society take over.
American Jews oppose Trump’s reckless decision and believe in a #Jerusalem4All — one where Palestinians, Israelis, and people from faiths across the world feel at home.

Networked Fabrication for Urban Provocations.
Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

PUBLIC: Present Predicaments in Architecture and Urban Planning
PUBLIC is the third installment of a series of conferences exploring present predicaments in architecture and urban planning. This conference focued on the relationships between planning, architecture, and the public while exploring the social impact of designs and decisions. Questions to be considered included: What role should public space play? What is the public definition of beauty? What forces enable planning and architecture to redefine culture and serve as a catalyst for change?
A diverse group of experts who actively shape the public opinion of architecture and planning responded through informal discussion to a series of four "provocations." These free-ranging conversations underscored the complexities and contradictions inherent in each provocation as well as suggest potential solutions to such predicaments. Open discussion at the end of the afternoon encouraged the audience to take part in the conversations.
