Accepted Contribution:
Sharing my practice-based protest textiles research and inviting participants to mail their accessories as an act of protest.
Britta Fluevog
(Transart Institute Liverpool John Moores University)
Contribution short abstract:
My research using textiles as a decentralized way of protesting will be introduced to participants. I will provide instructions on how to create a cardboard frame loom and weave a pin out of waste materials. I will also provide a method for them to mail the pins as an act of protest.
Contribution long abstract:
Within my research I am finding methods to decentralize art activism in order to increase access to protesting. I have proposed workshops as a potential method. If Possible, I would like to use part of this workshop within my ethics approved research study. I would introduce my research and the concept of using art as an act of protest and invite participants to learn to make a frame loom and weave a pin from refuse at my table. Those who wish may join my research study by providing written consent, being included in non-identifying images/ video (torso & hands only) and filling out questionnaires--those who wish to participate in the weaving but not the research are free to do so without any impediment whatsoever.
