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

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.

The Shadows - The Dimensions of Negativity by Pethros Thoryan (2025)

 

The Shadows - The Dimensions of Negativity The shadows that are governed by negative feelings such as hatred, provocation, threats, lies, envy and so many other dimensions of negativity are invasive and insidious labyrinthine forces that grow slowly like deep parasitic roots that feed on the spirit.

 

Over time, we become hollow vessels where only the deep-rooted feelings that we nurture predominate, often without realizing the harm we have done to ourselves and without realizing that their seeds spread along the paths we walk.

 

The fight against these negative feelings is therefore a daily struggle, equally silent, timeless and often painful, but which over time strengthens our spirit like armor that shines in the darkness.

But don't be fooled, the more it shines, the more appealing it is to the shadows, like the light of a candle to moths in the darkness of the night.

As Sombras - As Dimensões Da Negatividade

 

As sombras que se regem por sentimentos negativos como o ódio, a provocação, a ameaça, a mentira, a inveja e tantas outras dimensões da negatividade são forças labirinticas invasivas e insidiosas e que crescem lentamente como raizes profundas parasiticas que se alimentam do espirito.

 

Ao longo do tempo tornam-nos em recipientes ocos onde predominam apenas os sentimentos enraizados que alimentámos, muitas vezes sem termos a percepção do mal que faziamos a nós próprios e sem percebermos que as suas sementes se propagam pelos caminhos que passamos.

 

A luta contra estes sentimentos negativos é assim uma luta diária, igualmente silenciosa, intemporal e muitas vezes dolorosa, mas que com o tempo nos fortalece o espirito como uma armadura que resplandece na escuridão.

Mas não se iludam, quanto mais resplandecer mais apetecível é para as sombras como a luz de uma vela para as mariposas na penumbra da noite.

Maelstrom LRP 2009 Provocation Event

Call me Snake offers an optimistic provocation – ‘imagine what could be here’ by Judy Millar. On a walk into the city October 3, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.

 

The work is comprised of vibrant graphics of Millar’s looped paintings, which are adhered to five intersecting flat planes, and draws inspiration from the forms found in pop-up books. The colourful piece will add a dramatic and rhythmic counterpoint to the city’s current urban landscape — a mix of flattened sites, construction zones and defiant buildings that have stood through the quakes. The work employs theatricality, playfulness and visual trickery, whereby the viewer is unsure about the work’s flatness or three-dimensionality; and it has been designed to offer a different perspective from each angle. The bright colours interrupt the grey of the work’s surrounds, and as buildings pop up around it,

SCAPE 8, New Intimacies curated by Rob Garrett was a contemporary art event which mixed new artworks with existing legacy pieces, an education programme, and a public programme of events. The SCAPE 8 artworks were located around central Christchurch and linked via a public art walkway. All aspects of SCAPE 8 were free-to-view.

 

The title for the 2015 Biennial – New Intimacies – came from the idea that visually striking and emotionally engaging public art works can create new connections between people and places. Under the main theme of New Intimacies there are three other themes that artists responded to: Sight-Lines, Inner Depths and Shared Strengths.
