Sensuales, sugerentes, insinuantes... así nos muestra Punkia Saenz a las chicas “pin up” del siglo XX, a semejanza de las chicas “pin up” de los años 50.

 

Esta exposición se completa con una realizada con los fondos del MKAC que, aprovechando la ocasión, quiso rendir un pequeño homenaje a la “chica pin up” por excelencia: Betty Boop.

One goal of maker-centered classrooms is to have students make purposeful and imaginative creations. A more important goal is to develop the maker mindsets that help them to continually do so on their own - to become innovative if you will. The burden of coming up with project ideas needn't be the teacher's, but can instead be the students'. The teacher's responsibility becomes creating conditions in which children's innate imagination and curiosity can lead to creative and innovative outcomes. But this isn’t as straightforward as one might think. In fact, it is actually quite challenging, especially when you consider the material and tool options available (or not available) in schools. The workshop will share pedagogical practices that have been developed and used by veteran #MakerEd educators in their own classrooms, which span PS-12 settings. Participants will leave the session equipped with a framework that can help guide them via a more intentional planning approach to designing maker experiences. But this isn’t a sit-and-get course. Participants will make their way through a number of experiences designed using this framework to give them playful opportunities to explore new possibilities. Come ready to build, both physically and mentally!

 

Conducted at Fuse19:Exponential, hosted by the Mount Vernon Institute for Innovation in Atlanta, GA in June 2019.

All the artists, entrepreneurs, and activists who are asking the questions and making the provocations that we believe will shape the future of culture. At the 2016 YBCA 100 Summit, Nov 5, 2016. The YBCA 100 is an annual compilation of the creative minds, makers, and pioneers that inspire our work at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Each year, our staff convenes to debate: “Who do we believe is asking the questions and making the provocations that will shape the future of American culture?” The result of this inquiry is a diverse list of artists, entrepreneurs, activists, and creative citizens from around the world that have one thing in common: They are all generating culture that moves people.

Sarah P Corbett was 'Craftivist in Residence' at Greenbelt Festival in August 2025.

Festival capacity 12,000. Kettering UK

 

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
