Women’s March Promotes ‘Embroidery For Racial Justice,' Because That's Not Stereotyping At All

You can now fight the patriarchy one stereotypically female task at time!

The inaugural Women’s Convention, brought to you by the same minds behind the Women’s March in Washington D.C., is promoting an embroidery event in which women can sit in a sewing circle and tell tales about defeating white supremacy:

The description for the Oct. 29 “Embroidery for Racial Justice” event claims women will “learn basic outline stitches while discussing ways we fight, resist, question and dismantle white supremacy every day” under the tutelage of “Artist-Activist” Heather Marie Scholl.

The provided cloth, which is presumably included in the $40 registration fee, will be embroidered with what people “do” to resist white supremacy, such as through protesting or challenging their family members.

The event info claims that at the end of the event, Scholl will collect the embroidered pieces and turn them into “old fashioned protest banners” which she will showcase in different cities.

The event is apparently a form of “craftivism,” which utilizes art for the purpose of activism.
