Socially Engaged Craft

Socially Engaged Craft refers to the practice of using traditional craft techniques—such as weaving, pottery, or woodworking—to address social issues and promote community well-being. It involves artists and artisans collaborating with communities to create works that raise awareness, foster dialogue, or support social change. This approach blends craftsmanship with social activism, turning handmade objects into powerful tools for education, empowerment, and connection. By integrating artistry with social purpose, socially engaged craft helps bring about positive change while preserving cultural heritage.
