About the Artist<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shannon Downey, aka Badass Cross Stitch, is an artist, activist, craftivist, community builder, and general instigator. She blends her politics, activism, and art into projects that are designed to inspire others to take action, think, discuss, engage with democracy and their community, and find some digital\/analog balance. She uses are as a vehicle for positive change through creative interventions whether that be through open-source street art campaigns or global craftivism projects. <\/p>\n

She is the instigator behind #RitasQuilt, #MakeDontBreak, #YearOfStitch and @BadassHerstory. She is on a quest to teach 1 million people to embroider and invite society to rethink how we categorize, and value craft<\/em> and art<\/em>. Shannon sold everything she owned and moved into an RV in June 2020 to bring art, activism, and community to the country that she still believes in. <\/p>\n

She teaches at Columbia College and DePaul University and is founder of Seriously Badass Women. <\/p>\n
