Environmental Action Week: Crafty Communication - Anti-Fascist Greeting Cards and Activist Button Making

NMU Logo on bricks

Student Life

Rebecca Daly (Olson Library) and Anna Zimmer (LLIS and Honors) will show participants how to engage in two age-old, tried and true protest art forms. Create your own buttons while learning about the history of protesting against the degradation and destruction of the environment, including the exploitation of animals. From the original Indian Tree-huggers to the Animal Liberation Front in England and the fight against environmental racism in the US, learn about a variety of causes and the inspiring, clever, and impactful protest art used to spread awareness. Snail mail has also been utilized as a way to connect with fellow activists. Consider how designing and sending a creative greeting card can help you connect and collaborate with other humans. Fascist movements exploit feelings of isolation - fight them by crafting and strengthening our interconnectedness! Buttons have long been worn as small pieces of wearable protest art. 

This event is part of Environmental Action Week.
