Climate Refugees
Synopsis
In 2006, artist, author, and musician Faythe Levine traveled to 15 cities for her new documentary Handmade Nation to document the stories behind the intricately woven, web-oriented handmade community. Levine spoke with 80 artisans to record their experiences within this interconnected culture: radical embroiderers like Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching, the guerilla knitters of Knitta, and the conceptual clothing designer Stephanie Syjuco of Anti-Factory all shared their stories about how they came to craft, what craft means for them, and where they think craft is headed in the future.
