Alternative knitting. Knitting graffiti as a creative practice of constructing social reality

Abstracts

EN

Knitting graffiti is a cultural practice, whose key feature is active construction of urban landscape. The article tries to explain the complex messages behind the actions of those who fill the urban space with handmade knitwear. Yarn-made graffiti deconstructs symbolic meanings of this artistic handcraft, traditionally made by women in private space. It also becomes a tool of creative expression and inspires activists to make the world a better place.
