Campaign : All People are Still People

campaigners : Vishal, Rahul, Terrell and Sanam a great example of : presenting issue: discrimination

In the first strand of the programme in 2016, young participants Vishal, Rahul, Terrell and Sanam developed this project in response to their own experience of Stop and Search and a feeling of being targeted unfairly by the police in the Handsworth area, Birmingham.

These young people used the power of the personal alongside a simple statement to memorably present how the police disproportionally stop young brown and Black men. In 2020, when even the leaders of Western democracies still struggle with acknowledging the equality of their citizens, this campaign remains really important.

Their presentation skills were exceptional as they involved visitors to the showcase in the process of data collection. This encouraged attendees to consider their own experience of the law in a powerful combination of facts and emotions.

A Curator's Perspective

As a young person, we shouldn't have to prove our point, but in a society where younger generations are undermined, it's empowering to see other young people take control by collecting their own data, but also adding their own creativity to this!

But how can we always strive to do more to show injustice and challenge prejudice? For instance, have you heard of a privilege walk? They can be very moving though there are criticisms.

Could you brainstorm a way to use craftivism to provide a moment of empathy?

Pause for Thought

If you're not able to travel and share your own story, a craftivism campaign can, by: digitising your zine, sharing a tutorial of your making process on TikTok or sending packs in the post.

What ways are you already using that might make your campaign go further?

Involving people as a group in data collection makes it more moving to see the results.|Alongside their dog tag with the slogan 'All People Are Still People' and statistics on the back, visitors then would reflect upon their own encounters with the law in comparison to others.

At the 2016's Making for Change showcase, Vishal explained their idea to engage visitors.
