When is craft radical and revolutionary? When it gives a big ‘up yours’ to consumerist
society and the shrinking sense of community that goes with it. So say the people
behind the Craft Revolution exhibition at the QUT Art Museum, Brisbane, which opens
today and runs till July 13. There you’ll find all kinds of crafty goodness, from high
end art to RNA dollies and cakes, and a bit of a call to arms for crafters everywhere
to fight the system one stitch at a time. There’s also a Craft Revolution blog where
you’ll find interviews and articles from craft lovers across Australia.
Vive le crafty revolution!
