Hønsestrikk

Hønsestrikk, or hen knitting, is a type of narrative feminist knitting that emerged in Denmark during the 1970s. Knitters created sweaters using bright colors, unconventional techniques, and imagery with narratives about the person intending to wear it. Hønsestrikk is still executed by knitters today, incorporating contemporary political and social issues.

Seattle’s International Working Women’s Day for Palestine and Beyond

“We stand in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings in Gaza and those among our community who are directly and indirectly affected by the current war and genocide by the Israeli settler-colonial regime. Passive observation of the horrors of bombings, genocide, and prolonged apartheid is not our way. We must rise and firmly proclaim that Palestinian Liberation is a Feminist Imperative.” – Feminists for Jina Seattle
