Can craft tell the untold stories of carers? Welcome to Caring Craftivists the podcast where craftivism and caring intertwine to create powerful stories of resilience, advocacy, and hope. Hosted by Vanessa, a researcher and lecturer at the University of Brighton, and Katy, an unpaid carer and founder of the We Care Campaign, this podcast stitches together carers' experiences who use craft as a tool for change. In 2023, we invited unpaid carers from across Wales to embroider their experiences of caring onto a yellow duster. These dusters were presented to MPs at the Welsh Parliament, calling for improved rights. Caring Craftivists is our shared story. Each episode uncovers the stories behind the stitches, introducing you to carers who have transformed simple dusters into works of activism, amplifying their voices and making their invisible labour visible. From powerful messages displayed in the Senedd to personal tales of strength and struggle, we explore how creativity can spark conversations, challenge perceptions, and inspire
