A different kind of conversation

Sarah Corbett has been an activist all her life.

Born into a family thoroughly engaged with the issues of their low-income community in Liverpool, she went on to become a professional campaigner for non-governmental organisations.

But this way of creating change burned her out.

Instead, she explored the art of gentle protest and founded the Craftivist Collective:

If we want a world that is beautiful, kind and fair,
shouldnโ€™t our activism be beautiful, kind and fair?

Sarah Corbett, in How to be a Craftivist, Unbound, 2017

The impact of changing the conversation using beautifully crafted pieces, such as individually embroidered handkerchiefs, has led to profound shifts in boardrooms and elsewhere.

I share more of her story in Quiet Disruptors: Creating Change Without Shouting, which will be published in November.

In the meantime, find out more about the Craftivist Collective, watch Sarahโ€™s TED talk, or consider helping her fundraise to produce her third book: The Craftivist Collective Handbook.
