Crafted with Pride: Queer Craft and Activism in Contemporary Britain Fountain Daniel
An exploration of the important relationship between craft, queerness, and activism in Britain.Crafted with Pride is a collection of critical essays, oral histories, and creative responses that explore queer craft and the material cultures of LGBTQ+ activism in Britain since the 1980s. Daniel Fountain sheds light on them, bringing together contributions from academics, artists, activists, curators, and heritage professionals. There is a long history of using craft and DIY processes to explore identities and encourage social change and political change, yet these stories remain undocumented and insufficiently researched.
The book also contains reflections from contemporary creative practitioners, including Contributors discuss a range of case studies, including the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, the Museum of Transology, the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt, and many more.
