“If we want our world to be more beautiful, kind & just, then our activism should be beautiful, kind & just”
Gentle Protest is the first solo exhibition by craftivist and artist Sarah Corbett. With the aim to show that protest does not always have to be aggressive, Corbett uses craft (embroidery) as a powerful tool to tackle her concerns and create slow, quiet, thoughtful and compassionate activism as a catalyst for long term positive change in our world. This exhibition explores how craft can be a powerful, change-making instrument to add to the toolbox of activism.
Corbett founded the Craftivist Collective in London in 2009. It was born out of a growing desire to create craftivism projects that used craft as the tool and activism as the priority. Now a global community and social enterprise, the Craftivist Collective provides products & services for individuals & organisations to help them pursue effective craftivism. Corbett’s work is highly regarded by professional campaigners, academics & art institutions around the world.
Born in Liverpool in 1983 Corbett has been an activist since the age of 3. Elected Head Girl at school she won lockers for pupils and she continued her campaigning at university on global issues. After graduation she had a career in campaigning for large global charities including Oxfam. In 2008 Corbett began to doubt the effectiveness of traditional and potentially hostile methods of activism. She saw how using craft as a tool could address many of her concerns and reach newer and wider audiences. Influencing activism inside and outside the charity sector she has worked as a craftivism consultant for large charities such as Unicef and Save the Children. A global speaker she has taught her craftivism approach and methodology at universities across the world and has worked in collaboration with V&A, Tate, Secret Cinema and Tatty Devine amongst others.
During the exhibition, Sarah Corbett will facilitate a Wellmaking Clinic where the visitors can book a 30 mins appointment receive a unique letterpress printed prescription slip at the end of your session with recommendations to help you on your journey as a good global citizen.

5 AUGUSTI 2015 UTSTÄLLNINGAR, HV GALLERI
A Toolbox of cupcakes I made for my Grandpa who is a great woodworker. It includes an assortment of tools that include: Screwdrivers (both flat and philips), Hamers, Saws, Pliers, Tape Measures, and a Drill.
Even though my parents just moved from New Jersey to Florida, they took an important part of the old house with them. Dad’s old red Craftsman is more of a time capsule than a toolbox, and it immediately transported me back to my dad’s garage. Grease, Gojo hand cleaner, old coffee cans filled with nuts, bolts, washers, and fuses of all shapes and sizes — a vivid picture with an accompanying scent. The lid to the toolbox is always open, displaying a collage of important photos adhered with yellowed Scotch tape. They hold special meaning to my dad, and now, to me. Since I can remember, my dad was always working. He would work all night as a diesel mechanic in Manhattan, driving the empty highways while I was sleeping, then go straight to another job in the morning as a freelance contractor. I remember having to tiptoe around the house when I got home from school, so as not to wake my dad. I know he did it all for me and my brothers, so we could have the things we needed to succeed. My mother always told me, “Your father has hands of gold,” but I never realized how much of an artist my dad was until I became an adult. Until now, I never realized how similar we are. Fixing cars never interested me, but I have inherited the desire to make things better and beautiful, and to create something from nothing. Dad and his toolbox taught me to be my own artist.
EAF Toolbox Released
The much awaited EAF Toolbox prepared by the EAF Group of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture
Department was finally released. The colourful and informative document is already a hit. The Toolbox has been designed to guide users through each of the four main EAF management planning steps and activities using simplified text and clear instructions. The toolbox guides users to decide on which tool(s) could be most appropriate for each step given the type of fishery, their resources and capacity.
A web version of the Toolbox is also available through EAFnet which has been developed to facilitate access to the information and resources that are available at FAO on the application of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF).

We saw this toolbox lying around and presumed it belongs to one of the crew. I just love the Flintstone's puffy stickers on it. So sweet.
Health and safety is of utmost importance. Regular safety talks, known as 'toolbox talks' are held to brief and update staff of potential dangers and how to avoid them.
I wasn't really planning to finish this design in a day, or even a half day. But it's done, and I like it quite a bit.
The shot of the box interior shows all the tools I used I build the box: a small hammer, some pin nails, a plane, a triangle/set square, a Japanese-style saw, a coping saw, an exacto knife... And a pencil.
The photos on Tumblr helped too. A lot.
