Borderlands Session 5: Conversation between Church and City Craftivism Aberdeen Methodist

Borderlands: Conversations between church and city craftivism



Craftivism.com defines Craftivism as, “a way of looking at life where

voicing opinions through creativity makes your voice stronger, your

compassion deeper & your quest for justice more infinite.” It is that

compassion and quest for justice that will be explored in this talk.

This month we will be trying a slightly different format with

Borderlands. You are invited to watch a 'Wes Talk' produced by the New

Room in Bristol. The talk will be on Monday 17 May, 7.30-8.30pm; or you

can download the talk to watch here: https://www.newroombristol.org.uk/product/wes-talks-craftivism-how-can-you-gain-a-political-voice-through-craft/



Borderlands will meet on Tuesday 25 May at 7.30 to discuss this talk on

Craftivism and to engage with the issues that it raises.

At the Wes Talk, nationally recognised campaigner, Katy Styles will

speak on her experience as founder of the We Care Campaign. Katy will be

joined by Revd. Rachel Parkinson, who has a passion for building

community through collaborative craft and Revd. Michaela Youngson, a

glass-fuser with a passion for social justice. As well as sharing case

studies, their conversation will include a discussion on how much of an

impact can be made through the use of craft.
