ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sarah Corbett - Craftivist
Sarah Corbett does activism in a quiet, humble and intriguing way using handicrafts.

Why you should listen

Sarah Corbett is a craftivist who teaches her "gentle protest" approach to individuals and organizations around the world. She also makes craftivism (craft + activism) projects and DIY kits for people who want to do a quieter, kinder and more beautiful form of effective activism than what is sometimes traditionally offered.

Growing up in a low-income area of the UK, Corbett has been involved in activism since she was three years old and has worked for more than a decade in the UK charity sector as a professional campaigner focusing on international development. But in 2008 she burnt out as an activist and introvert and wanted to find an effective way of campaigning that fitted her skills and ethics and personality. She set up the Craftivist Collective social enterprise in 2009 after people wanted to join in her new form of activism. Now there are craftivists around the world who take part in social change using handicrafts.

Corbett won the Sheila McKechnie award for Economic Justice campaigner of the Year 2016. Craftivist Collective won an Innovation Award from Care2 Impact Award 2016. She works with charities, arts institutions, universities and has exhibited her solo exhibition, "Gentle Protest," in Stockholm, Helsinki and London. She lives in East London and works worldwide.

对于我们之中内向的人，传统的维权行动例如游行、抗议和家家户户的拉票行为会使人感到恐惧和惶恐。从Sarah Corbett那里我们得知她作为一个前职业活动家，自称手工艺品作为一种让人们生活慢下来的方式，深入思考大家所面临的问题，同时让公众更加温地参与维权行动。谁说刺绣的手帕不能改变世界？

A few少数 years年份 ago前, about seven七 years年份 ago前,
0
667
2095
几年前，大约七年前，
00:14
I found发现 myself我 hiding藏
in a festival节 toilet厕所,
1
2786
3749
我把自己藏进了一个演出现场的卫生间里，
00:18
a music音乐 festival节 toilet厕所,
2
6559
1799
一个音乐节的卫生间，
00:20
and if anyone's任何人的 been to a music音乐 festival节,
3
8382
3127
如果有人去过音乐节的话，
00:23
yeah, you'll你会 know that by the third第三 day,
4
11533
3921
没错，在节庆的第三天，
00:27
it's pretty漂亮 nasty讨厌.
5
15478
1689
场面非常混乱。
00:29
I was standing常设 in the toilet厕所
because I couldn't不能 even sit坐 down,
6
17191
3286
我站在隔间里，根本不能坐下，
00:32
because the toilet厕所 roll滚 had run跑 out,
7
20501
2683
因为卫生纸都被用光了，
00:35
there was mud泥 everywhere到处,
8
23208
1444
到处都是泥，
00:36
and it smelled闻 pretty漂亮 bad坏.
9
24676
1425
味道非常难闻。
00:38
And I stood站在 there thinking思维,
10
26125
1777
我站在厕所里想，
00:39
"What am I doing?
I don't even need the toilet厕所."
11
27926
3008
“我来这干吗？我根本不想上厕所啊”
00:42
But the reason原因 I went去
12
30958
1358
但是我之所以来，
00:44
was because I was volunteering志愿服务
for a large大 charity慈善机构 on climate气候 justice正义,
13
32340
4436
是因为当时我在一个大型气候变化正义公益组织做志愿者，
00:48
and it was seven七 years年份 ago前,
14
36800
1908
那是在七年前，
00:50
when lots of people didn't believe
in climate气候 change更改,
15
38732
2491
当时很多人不相信气候变化，
00:53
people were very cynical愤世嫉俗的 about activism行动,
16
41247
1905
对气候维权行动进行嘲讽，
00:55
and my role角色, with all of my teammates队友,
17
43176
1858
而我们团队成员和我的职责，
00:57
was to get people to sign标志 petitions请愿书
on climate气候 justice正义
18
45058
3001
就是请人为保护气候的请愿书签名
01:00
and educate教育 them
a bit位 more about the issue问题.
19
48083
2554
并向他们普及气候变化的知识.
01:02
And I cared照顾 deeply深 about climate气候 change更改
and lots of inequality不等式,
20
50661
3897
我十分关心气候的变化和不平等现象，
01:06
so I'd go and I'd talk to lots of people,
21
54582
1953
所以我需要去和很多人讲这些事请，
01:08
which哪一个 made制作 me nervous紧张
and drained倒掉 me of energy能源,
22
56559
3230
这事让我精神紧张，且耗费精力
01:11
but I did it because I cared照顾,
23
59813
1825
但我依然选择去做，因为我在乎
01:13
but I would hide隐藏 in the toilets洗手间,
because I'd be exhausted累,
24
61662
3905
身心俱疲时我会躲在厕所里，
01:17
and I didn't want my teammates队友
doubting疑 my commitment承诺 to the cause原因,
25
65591
3945
因为不想让队友质疑我
是否能承担这项事业，
01:21
thinking思维 that I was slacking消极怠工.
26
69560
1881
怕他们觉得我松懈偷懒。
01:23
And we'd星期三 go and meet遇到
at the end结束 of our shift转移,
27
71465
2143
我们会在工作交换前碰面，
01:25
and we'd星期三 count计数 how many许多 petitions请愿书
had been signed签,
28
73632
2365
清点有多少请愿书已经被签名，
01:28
and often经常 I'd win赢得 the amount量
of petitions请愿书 signed签
29
76021
2667
往往我是得到签名最多的人，
01:30
even though虽然 I had
my little breaks休息 in the toilet厕所.
30
78712
2539
尽管我有时会去厕所稍微休息一下.
但我还是会羡慕其他队友，
01:33
But I was always very jealous妒
of the other activists活动家,
31
81275
2747
01:36
because either或 they had
the same相同 amount量 of energy能源
32
84046
2364
因为他们一整天的工作之后，
不仅同工作前一样精力旺盛，
01:38
as they had when they began开始 the shift转移
of getting得到 people to sign标志 petitions请愿书,
33
86434
4675
01:43
or often经常 they had more energy能源,
34
91133
1944
有时候居然更有活力，
01:45
and they'd他们会 be really excited兴奋 about
going to watch the bands带 in the evening晚间
35
93101
3501
他们为晚上能去看乐队演出而兴奋不已，
01:48
and having有 a dance舞蹈.
36
96626
1174
或者跳个舞什么的。
01:49
And even if I loved喜爱 the bands带,
37
97824
2111
虽然我也喜欢乐队演出，
01:51
all I wanted to do was to go back
to my tent帐篷 and have a sleep睡觉,
38
99959
3135
但我更想回到我的帐篷睡上一觉.
01:55
because I'd just feel
completely全然 wiped抹 out,
39
103118
2667
因为我实在是没有一点力气了，
01:57
and I was really jealous妒 of people
that had the energy能源
40
105809
2557
我特别羡慕那些还有力气
02:00
to go and party派对 hard硬 at the festivals节日.
41
108390
2530
在音乐节上尽情玩乐的人.
02:03
But it also也 made制作 me really angry愤怒,
as well, inside内.
42
111703
2912
除了羡慕，其实我也有一点生气，
02:06
I thought, "This isn't fair公平,
I'm an introvert性格内向,
43
114639
2922
我觉得这太不公平了，我是一个内向的人，
02:09
and all of the offline离线 campaigning竞选
seems似乎 to be favoring有利于 extroverts外向的人."
44
117585
4920
但是所有的线下活动都是为外向型的人准备的。
02:15
I would go on marches游行 which哪一个 drained倒掉 me.
45
123034
2198
我可以去参加游行示威，尽管会很累.
02:17
That was the other option选项.
46
125256
1262
但这也是一种方式.
02:18
Or I'd go and join加入 campaigns活动
outside外 embassies使馆 or shops商店.
47
126542
4401
或者我也可以参加大使馆和商店外的示威运动.
02:22
The only thing that was on offer提供
was around lots of people,
48
130967
2945
但是我们采取的唯一方式是和很多人面对面交流，
02:25
it was very loud响 activism行动,
49
133936
1952
是非常“大声”的维权行动类型，
02:27
it always involved参与 lots of people,
it was performing执行.
50
135912
3023
总是涉及到很多人，需要用表演形式.
02:30
None没有 of it was for introverts内向的人,
51
138959
2231
一点都不适合内向型的人来做.
02:33
and I not only thought
that that wasn't不 fair公平,
52
141214
2643
而且不仅是我一个人觉得这样不公平，
02:35
because a third第三 to a half半
of the world's世界 population人口 are introverts内向的人,
53
143881
4826
因为全世界1/3到1/2的人属于内向型，
02:40
which哪一个 isn't fair公平 on them,
because we burn烧伤 out,
54
148731
3015
对我们来说也很不公平，
因为内向的人需要花费更多精力，
02:43
or we'd星期三 be put off
by activism行动 and not do it,
55
151770
2557
否则我们会被维权活动组织方淘汰而不能参加.
02:46
and everyone大家 needs需求 to be
an activist活动家 in this world世界.
56
154351
3755
但是这个世界上，
每个人都需要成为一个行动主义者.
02:50
And also也, I didn't think
it was particularly尤其 clever聪明,
57
158414
2642
同时，我认为这样的做法也并不聪明，
02:53
but I could see that a lot
of the activism行动 that worked工作
58
161080
3731
我见过很多取得明显成效的行动主义活动，
02:56
wasn't不 only extrovert个性外向的 activism行动.
59
164835
2247
并非全是这类外向型的行动主义.
02:59
It wasn't不 only the loud响 stuff东东.
60
167106
1745
并非全是“大声”的，热闹的活动形式.
03:00
It wasn't不 about people
performing执行 all the time.
61
168875
2889
也不是一直有人在表演作秀，
03:03
A lot of the work that was needed需要
was in the background背景,
62
171788
2621
有很多工作其实是幕后工作，
03:06
was hidden隐, wasn't不 seen看到.
63
174433
1942
这些工作是隐形的，看不见的.
03:09
And when I ended结束 up
just being存在 a campaigner活动家,
64
177031
2388
我变成众多运动群众中的一员，
03:11
because it's the only job工作
I can do, really --
65
179443
2119
因为这是我唯一能做的工作，真的，
03:13
I was campaigning竞选 at university大学,
66
181586
1715
上大学时我就开始参加运动，
03:15
and for the last 10 years年份,
I've been a professional专业的 campaigner活动家
67
183325
3032
在过去的十年间，我成为一个专业的活动家.
03:18
for large大 charities慈善机构,
68
186381
1167
为大型慈善机构服务，
03:19
and now I'm a creative创作的 campaigner活动家
consultant顾问 for different不同 charities慈善机构
69
187572
3849
如今，我是许多慈善机构的运动策划咨询师，
03:23
as well as other work I do --
70
191445
2264
同时我也做其他方面的工作.
03:25
but I knew知道 that there were other forms形式
of activism行动 that were needed需要.
71
193733
3212
但是，我深知，行动主义同样需要其他形式的活动.
03:29
I started开始 tinkering修修补补 about seven七 years年份 ago前
72
197607
2556
七年前，我开始试着做一些调整，
03:32
to see what quieter安静 forms形式 of activism行动
I could engage从事 with
73
200187
3754
看看有什么安静一些的活动我可以参加，
03:35
so I didn't burn烧伤 out as an activist活动家,
74
203965
2277
这样我不至于累趴下。
03:38
but also也 to look at some of the issues问题
I was concerned关心 about in campaigning竞选.
75
206266
4762
同时研究一下怎样开展我关注的一些问题的活动
03:43
I was very lucky幸运 that, when I worked工作
for Oxfam乐施会 and other big大 charities慈善机构,
76
211052
3430
在为乐施会和其他大型慈善机构工作时，
03:46
I could read读 lots of big大 reports报告
77
214506
2198
我有幸可以读到很多报告，
03:48
on what influenced影响
politicians政治家 and businesses企业
78
216728
3254
这些报告调查了什么能影响政治家，企业
03:52
and the general一般 public上市,
79
220006
1691
和普通大众，
03:53
what campaigns活动 worked工作 really well,
which哪一个 ones那些 didn't.
80
221721
2478
怎样的运动成效显著，怎样的又不起作用
03:56
And I'm a bit位 of a geek极客,
so I look at all of that stuff东东,
81
224223
2935
我算是个喜欢数据的怪胎，
所以我读了所有关于那些问题的报告，
03:59
and I wanted to tinker修补匠 around
82
227182
1382
想为运动的现状做一些修正
04:00
to see how I could engage从事 people
in social社会 change更改 in a different不同 way,
83
228588
3865
想让更多人，用另一种方式参与到改变社会的活动中
04:04
because I think if we want the world世界
to be more beautiful美丽, kind类 and just,
84
232477
4595
因为我认为如果我们想让世界变得更美丽，和善与公正，
04:09
then our activism行动
should be beautiful美丽, kind类 and just,
85
237096
3793
那么我们的行动主义也应变得更丰富，灵活且合理，
04:12
and often经常 it's not.
86
240913
1365
但现实却不是如此
04:14
And today今天, I just want to talk
about three三 ways方法
87
242723
2340
今天，我想谈一谈行动主义需要内向型人
04:17
that I think activism行动 needs需求 introverts内向的人.
88
245087
2071
的三个理由
04:19
I think there's lot of other ways方法,
but I'm just going to talk about three三.
89
247597
3484
其实有很多其他的理由，但今天我仅谈三点
04:23
And the first one is:
activism行动 is often经常 very quick快,
90
251731
4016
第一：维权行动通常要求行动迅速
04:27
and it's about doing,
91
255771
1310
需要采取实际行动
04:29
so extroverts外向的人, often经常 their其 immediate即时
response响应 to injustice不公正 is,
92
257105
3255
所有，面对不公正现象，外向型人的第一反应是
04:32
we've我们已经 got to do stuff东东 now,
93
260384
1460
我们现在需要行动了，
04:33
we've我们已经 got to react应对 really quickly很快 --
94
261868
1810
而且要迅速行动，
04:35
and yes, we do need to react应对,
95
263702
1615
没错，我们是需要行动，
04:37
but we need to be strategic战略
in our campaigning竞选,
96
265341
2596
但在运动中我们需要有策略性，
04:39
and if we just act法案 on anger愤怒,
97
267961
1626
如果仅仅因为愤怒而就采取行动，
04:41
often经常 we do the wrong错误 things.
98
269611
1674
我们常会做出错误的决定。
04:44
I use craft手艺, like needlework针线活 --
99
272177
2628
我用手工艺，比如刺绣，
04:46
like this guy behind背后 me is doing --
100
274829
2079
像我身后这个人正在做的，
04:48
as a way to not only slow慢 down
those extrovert个性外向的 doers实干家,
101
276932
3834
不仅用它来让外向型人放慢行动速度，
04:52
but also也 to bring带来 in nervous紧张,
quiet安静 introverts内向的人 into activism行动.
102
280790
5758
也用它让紧张、安静的内向型人参与进维权活动
04:59
By doing repetitive重复 actions行动,
103
287216
2511
通过重复性的劳动，
05:01
like handicraft手工业, you can't do it fast快速,
you have to do it slowly慢慢地.
104
289751
3014
比如做手工，不能快，你只能慢慢做，
05:04
And those repetitive重复 stitches针
105
292789
1711
一针一线的重复，
05:06
help you meditate幽思 on the big大,
complex复杂, messy乱 social社会 change更改 issues问题
106
294524
4064
帮助你沉思那些深远浩大，繁复冗杂的社会改造工程
05:10
and figure数字 out what we can do
107
298612
2348
帮助你弄清楚有哪些实际可做的事
05:12
as a citizen公民, as a consumer消费者,
as a constituent组分,
108
300984
5405
作为市民，消费者，选民
05:18
and all of those different不同 things.
109
306413
1984
等等其他各种身份。
05:20
It helps帮助 you think critically危重
while you're stitching拼接 away,
110
308421
3397
刺绣有助于你批判性地思考，
05:23
and it helps帮助 you be more mindful铭记
of what are your motives动机.
111
311842
2716
帮你更清楚得认识自己的动机，
05:26
Are you that Barbie芭比 aid援助 worker工人
that was mentioned提到 before?
112
314582
3348
你是提到过的Barbie救援人员吗？
05:29
Are you about joining加盟
people in solidarity团结,
113
317954
2651
你计划成为这个团结一致的大家庭的一员吗，
05:32
or do you want to be the savior救主,
which哪一个 often经常 isn't very ethical合乎道德的?
114
320629
3176
或者你想成为一个通常不太道德的救世主？
05:35
But doing needle针 work together一起, as well,
115
323829
2348
但是，通过一起做针线活，
05:38
extroverts外向的人 and introverts内向的人 and ambivertambivert --
116
326201
3667
外向的，内向的，中间性格的人，
05:41
everyone's大家的 on the scale规模
in different不同 places地方 --
117
329892
2223
每一个参与的人都处于合适的位置，
05:44
because it's a quiet安静,
slow慢 form形成 of activism行动,
118
332139
4754
因为这是一个安静，舒缓的行动主义形式，
05:48
it really helps帮助 introverts内向的人 be heard听说
119
336917
2770
它帮助更多内向者的声音得以被倾听，
05:51
in other areas区, where
they are often经常 not heard听说.
120
339711
3868
特别是在一些他们常被忽略的活动中。
05:55
It sounds声音 odd奇,
121
343603
2650
听起来也许很奇怪，
05:58
but while you're stitching拼接,
you don't need eye眼 contact联系 with people.
122
346277
3628
但是当你在做针线活时，你不需要和别人目光接触，
06:01
So, for nervous紧张 introverts内向的人,
123
349929
2112
所以，对紧张的内向者来说，
06:04
it means手段 that you can stitch缝 away
next下一个 to someone有人 or a group组 of people
124
352065
4190
这意味着他们可以和一大伙人坐在一起，
06:08
and ask问 questions问题 that you're thinking思维
125
356279
2199
一边缝纫，一边探讨他们正在思考的问题，
06:10
that often经常 you don't
get time to ask问 people,
126
358502
3063
那些他们还没有找到机会表达的想法，
06:13
or you're too nervous紧张 to ask问
if you give them eye眼 contact联系.
127
361589
2897
或者因为要和别人进行目光接触，过度紧张，无法说出口的想法。
06:16
So you can get introverts内向的人,
who are those big大, deep深 thinkers思想家,
128
364510
2952
这样，我们就可以让那些拥有深度思考能力的内向者
06:19
saying话, "That's really interesting有趣
that you want to do
129
367486
3167
有机会说："那种外向的活动很有趣，
06:22

it's told us that we need to,
when we're engaging卡 power功率 holders持有人,
152
427840
3841
为有权力的人工作我们需要做一些事情，
07:23
we need to engage从事 them by listening听
to people we disagree不同意 with,
153
431705
3310
对于那些观点相反的人我们需要聆听他的想法
07:27

相反给他们一些东西，
例如一个定制的手帕。
07:47
saying话, "Don't blow打击 it.

2452
我们在今年6月再一次去了最近的股东周年大会，
09:29
and we had these amazing惊人 one-to-one一到一个
discussions讨论 with the board板 members会员,

09:37
and they all told us that if we were
standing常设 outside外 screaming尖叫 at them
205
565748
3464
他们说如果我们站在外面
对他们大喊大叫，
09:41
and not being存在 gentle温和 in our protest抗议,
206
569236
2120
或做无礼的抗议，
09:43
they wouldn't不会 have even listened听了 to us,
207
571380
1877
他们肯定不会听我们的，
09:45
never mind心神 had those discussions讨论 with us.
208
573281
2027
并不屑于跟我们商议。
09:47
And I think introverts内向的人
are really good at intimate亲密 activism行动
209
575332
3358
我认为内向的人真的能处理好亲密的行动，
09:50
because we like to listen,
210
578714
1341
因为我们都喜欢倾听，
09:52

211
580079

so we avoid避免 it at all costs成本,
215
587921
1767
所以我们尽可能的避免它发生，
10:01
which哪一个 is really important重要 when
we're trying试 to engage从事 power功率 holders持有人,
216
589712
3289
当我们试图与当权者共事时这非常的重要
10:05
not to be conflicting冲突的
with them all the time.
217
593025
3170
而不是一直与他们争吵。
10:08
The third第三 way I think activists活动家
are really missing失踪 out
218
596632
4694
第三， 我觉得如果活动家
10:13
if they don't engage从事 introverts内向的人
219
601350
1870
不容纳内向者损失是很大的
10:15
is that introverts内向的人, like I said,
can be half半 of the world's世界 population人口,
220
603244
5031
正如我所说，内向人占世界人口的一半，
10:20
and most最 of us won't惯于 say
that we're introvert性格内向,
221
608299
3104
大多数人都不会说我们是内向的人。
10:23
or we get embarrassed尴尬
by saying话 what overwhelms淹没 us.
222
611427
3194
对于压抑我们的东西我们不知所措。
10:26
So for me, a few少数 years年份 ago前,
223
614645
2001
所以，对于我来说，几年以前，
10:28
my mom妈妈 used to send发送 me
texts文本 in capital首都 letters信 --
224
616670
3093
我的妈妈用大写字母给我发消息—
10:31
and she can now do emojis表情符号
and everything, she's fine --
225
619787
3150
现在她能用表情符号和其他的工具，
她非常健康—
10:34
but as soon不久 as I'd see this text文本,
226
622961
1779
但是当我一看到这个消息的时候，
10:36
I'd winceWINCE and think, "Ooh哦,
it's capital首都 letters信, it's too much."
227
624764
3620
我会退缩并且在想，“哇，这么多大写字母，太多了”
10:40
And I'd have to ignore忽视 it to read读
the lovely可爱 text文本 she sent发送 me.
228
628408
3182
我会忽略这个妈妈发给我的有趣的消息，
10:43
And that's a bit位 embarrassing尴尬,
229
631614
1483
告诉别人大写字母让你感到不安，
10:45
to tell people that capital首都
letters信 overwhelm压倒 you,
230
633121
3112
有点尴尬，
10:48
but we really need introverts内向的人
to help us do intriguing奇妙 activism行动
231
636257
5009
但是我们确实需要内向的人去帮助我们
完成有吸引的活动。
10:53
that attracts吸引 them
rather宁 than puts看跌期权 them off.
232
641290
2563
这个会吸引他们而不是让他们拖延着不去做。
10:55
We're put off by big大
and brash性急的 giant巨人 posters海报
233
643877
3453
我们被巨大的引人注意的海报吓跑了，
10:59
and capital首都 letters信 and explanation说明 marks分数
234
647354
2508
大写字母和解释的符号，
11:01
telling告诉 us what to do
and vying百舸争流 for our attention注意.
235
649886
3422
告诉我们该做什么并吸引我们的注意力。
11:05
So some of the things I do with people
around the world世界 who take part部分
236
653332
3798
所以一些事情我会和全世界的人一起去做，
11:09
is make small小 bits位
of provocative挑衅 street街 art艺术
237
657154
2342
这些人做一些小的有挑战的街头艺术，
11:11
which哪一个 are hung鸿 off eye眼 level水平, very small小,
238
659520
2642
它们的眼睛是垂下来的，非常小，
11:14
and they're provocative挑衅 messages消息.
239
662186
1778
他们传达了不可思议的信息。
11:15
They're not preaching说教 at people
or telling告诉 them what to do.
240
663988
3285
他们不是在向人说教，
或者告诉别人该做什么。
11:19
They're just getting得到 people
to engage从事 in different不同 ways方法,
241
667297
2634
他们仅仅是让人们用不同的方式参与，
11:21
and think for themselves他们自己,
242
669955
1191
去自行思考。
11:23
because we don't like
to be told what to do.
243
671170
2126
因为我们不喜欢别人告诉我们该做什么。
11:25
It might威力 be wearing穿着
a green绿色 heart心 on your sleeve袖
244
673921
2453
这也可能是你的袖子上有一颗绿色的心，
11:28

11:31
and we'll好 wear穿 it,
246
679319
1158

1182
如果人们说，
11:33
"Why are you wearing穿着 a green绿色 heart心
with the word字 'chocolate''巧克力' on?"
248
681707
3334
“你为什么佩戴写着巧克力的绿色的心”？
11:37
and we can have those one-to-one一到一个
intimate亲密 conversations对话 and say,
249
685065
3166
我们可以一对一的跟他们亲热的告诉他们，
11:40

11:41
Climate气候 change更改 is going to affect影响 it,

of the solution解, not the problem问题."
253
695207
3543
我非常的肯定我能解决一些问题，而不是一个麻烦。
11:50
And then we deflect打歪, because we don't
like to be the center中央 of attention注意,
254
698774
3579
然后我们转换话题，因为我们不想成为
关注的焦点，
11:54
and say, "What do you love
and how will climate气候 change更改 affect影响 it?"
255
702377
3127
然后说：“你喜欢什么，气候变化会怎样影响它？”
11:58
Or it might威力 be shop-dropping店坠
instead代替 of shop-lifting车间升降,
256

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sarah Corbett - Craftivist
Sarah Corbett does activism in a quiet, humble and intriguing way using handicrafts.

Why you should listen

Sarah Corbett is a craftivist who teaches her "gentle protest" approach to individuals and organizations around the world. She also makes craftivism (craft + activism) projects and DIY kits for people who want to do a quieter, kinder and more beautiful form of effective activism than what is sometimes traditionally offered.

Growing up in a low-income area of the UK, Corbett has been involved in activism since she was three years old and has worked for more than a decade in the UK charity sector as a professional campaigner focusing on international development. But in 2008 she burnt out as an activist and introvert and wanted to find an effective way of campaigning that fitted her skills and ethics and personality. She set up the Craftivist Collective social enterprise in 2009 after people wanted to join in her new form of activism. Now there are craftivists around the world who take part in social change using handicrafts.

Corbett won the Sheila McKechnie award for Economic Justice campaigner of the Year 2016. Craftivist Collective won an Innovation Award from Care2 Impact Award 2016. She works with charities, arts institutions, universities and has exhibited her solo exhibition, "Gentle Protest," in Stockholm, Helsinki and London. She lives in East London and works worldwide.
