  • Knit Happens Subversive Handarbeit Als Aktivismus Von Sarah Held
    Knit Happens Subversive Handarbeit als Aktivismus von Sarah Held 1. Historischer Überblick Frauen aus allen Schichten, zu allen Zeiten und jeden Alters griffen und greifen zu Nadel und Faden und schaffen mit ihren Händen. Aus verschiedensten Gründen verrichteten und verrichten junge Mädchen und Frauen diese Arbeiten. Es gibt Frauen, die handarbeiten, weil sie Lust und Freude am schöpferischen Tun und künstlerischen Ausdruck haben, andere, weil es ihre Männer von ihnen erwarten. Viele handarbeiteten, um ihren Lebensunterhalt damit zu verdienen und auch aus politischen Gründen griffen Frauen zur Nadel. Die Handarbeit der Frau ist eng mit Geschlechteridentität, weiblicher Sozialisation und Rollenerwartung verknüpft. Hier finden sich die Erwartungshaltungen an eine gute Frau und Leitbilder für die Erziehung von jungen Mädchen. Nicht nur im 19. Jahrhundert, in dieser Zeit aber besonders, war das Bild der nähenden jungen Frau die Metapher für weibliche Bildung und Fügsamkeit als Tugenden, die eine ideale Ehefrau ausmachen. Auch in den Tätigkeiten selbst sind Verbindungen zu der Tugendhaftigkeit einer Frau zu finden, erfordern sie doch ein hohes Maß an Ausdauer, Geduld, Präzision, Gleichmäßigkeit in der Ausführung und manueller Geschicklichkeit, alles Eigenschaften, für die Männer Frauen wertschätzten. So rahmten Eltern die Werke ihrer heiratsfähigen Töchter und hängten sie an eine exponierte Stelle im Haus, damit junge Herren nicht nur die Tochter, sondern auch deren Geschick im Handarbeiten bewundern konnten. Frauen und Mädchen wurden mit der Handarbeit domestiziert, an das Eltern- oder das eigene Haus gebunden. Sie konnten unter Kontrolle gehalten werden und diese stille und saubere Arbeit eignet sich zudem dazu, gleichzeitig noch weiteren Tätigkeiten, wie Kinder hüten, nachzugehen. Das antiquierte Bild der (Haus-)Frau mit Wahlsprüchen wie „don't sit there, knit something“ oder „the devil finds work for idle hands“1 hat lange ausgedient, aber die gesellschaftliche Konnotation von Handarbeit und Weiblichkeit herrscht auch im 21.

  • Knitta Please, a Festival of Events Starting from Sunday 5 July
    MEDIA RELEASE 2 July 2009 The National Gallery of Australia to be ‘stitched up’ by a tag crew of knitters as part of a festival of events during the last week of Soft sculpture 5–12 July 2009 The National Gallery of Australia will be holding Knitta Please, a festival of events starting from Sunday 5 July. The week will culminate in a community project, Stitching up the NGA, which is being held from Tuesday 7 to Sunday 12 July. Magda Sayeg, founder of Knitta Please, Sydney artist Denise Litchfield and a team of volunteers will transform six large concrete poles at the front entrance of the Gallery. Knitters all over the world have been invited to help create squares of knitting for the coverings, and the Gallery has had a great response, receiving contributions from as far as Sweden and the USA. “The response from knitters around Australia has been amazing, with hundreds of knitted pieces flooding into the Gallery,” said Public Programs Project Officer Michelle Fracaro. “We have received contributions from all over the country and overseas. Many schools from Canberra and surrounding areas have also become involved and their support and enthusiasm has been great.” Based in Austin, Texas, Magda Sayeg founded Knitta Please in 2005. Knitta Please is a tag crew of knitters who turned their frustration with their half-finished knitting projects into a phenomenon sweeping across the world. The crew ‘yarn bombs’ public spaces graffiti style, covering their targets with brightly knitted ‘tags’. From everyday objects, such as parking meters and lamp posts, to more monumental targets like the Great Wall of China, Paris landmarks and a Mexico City bus.

  • Knitting Activism, Knitting Gender, Knitting Race
    International Journal of Communication 12(2018), 867–889 1932–8036/20180005 Knitting Activism, Knitting Gender, Knitting Race SAMANTHA CLOSE1 DePaul University, USA Graffiti knitting, the practice of knitting objects and installing them without permission in public, is part of a larger craftivist turn in contemporary activism. It builds on a feminist history of activist knitting and resonates today because of its synthesis of the material and the affective, and through these means crafting a more participatory politics. This approach has facilitated, however, blindness to the racial politics of a largely White feminist appropriation of graffiti. This works against craftivism’s political potential and mirrors larger concerns about participatory politics. As a scholar-activist, I critique graffiti knitting to point toward ways for it to evolve and become a more intersectional activist practice. Keywords: visual communication, feminism, race, activism, affect, graffiti On February 21, 2011, a herd of miniature sheep balanced on the railing of London Bridge. With names like “Hungry Hairy Harriet,” “Sparkly Sheila,” and “Wilhem, the Wool-Hungry Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing,” the women of Knit the City (KTC) designed and hand made each creature. Along with The Guardian arts journalist and documentarian Alt Artist, KTC secured the sheep to the bridge with loops of fishing line. The KTC women—aka Deadly Knitshade, The Fastener, and Shorn-a the Dead—knit the sheep and installed them on London Bridge in an artistic appropriation of the ancient English privilege “Freedom of the City.” That circa 1237 law gave “freemen” the right to drive their sheep across London Bridge. KTC knitter The Fastener proclaimed to Alt Artist’s camera, “Even though we aren’t freemen, we’re free knitters!” The women photographed their handmade herd and then left, abandoning their tiny creations to the mercy of the wind and interest of the passersby (see Figure 1).

    Little Free Library Sweater | Tips and Tricks Why? Why does your library need a sweater? Because you can!

  • The Rhetoricity of Yarn Bombing
    145 Joie de Fabriquer: The Rhetoricity of Yarn Bombing Maureen Daly Goggin Materiality in its many forms, and an intense devotion to the making of things, has renovated and reenergized the world of handcraft . While this change has given prominence to craft materials and techniques, the transformation has been most dramatic in the area of fiber, and quite possibility the most diverse in its manifestation. David McFadden Since the end of the twentieth century and the turn into the new millen- nium, hand crafting has experienced a steep resurgence globally among both women and men, both young and old, both urban and rural. For many craft- ers, hand work is a dynamic response against the separation of labor and do- mestic skills, the split between public and private, the disconnection between mass made and handmade, the division between producers and consumers, and the other binaries rendered by modernity and the industrial age. As the Museum of Arts and Design mission statement for the exhibition Pricked: Extreme Embroidery points out in the epigraph:, of all the art crafts revamped, fiber art crafts, what Jack Bratich and Heidi Brush call “fabriculture,” are among the most prominent. Why? No doubt part of the answer lies in the fact that “fiber is the oldest material manipulated by human beings for practical and aesthetic purposes and at the same time, the most ordinary and ubiquitous in daily life” (McFadden 1). In this piece, I examine the rhetoricity—the material practices and rhe- torical functions—of a specific kind of contemporary knitting and crocheting, namely, yarn bombing.
