A Global Craftivism Project Centering Folks of Marginalized Genders
Chicago-based artist and activist Shannon Downey asked people of marginalized genders to create 12x12-inch pieces of textile art that tell the world their story. Their responses became part of a traveling exhibit, which has now made its way to Buffalo!
Each element of this project is meant to influence micro behaviors on a global scale to catalyze changes in attitudes, perceptions, visibility, skill sets, community norms, civic engagement, and public will.
This exhibit is part of a two-day community art-making project with Shannon Downey.
