This book weaves together disparate worlds of crafting, social justice, and digital technologies around The Partnership Quilt. It crafts a manifesto for meaningful action and design processes in charitable organizations through participatory sewing and its digital augmentation. The book charts a history of how sewing has been used to voice concerns of oppression, and how digital technologies can be embedded into textiles to tell stories more powerfully. It explores the relationship between quilting and research, looking beyond the seams of The Partnership Quilt to shed light on the importance of invisible work behind such participatory, justice-oriented design projects. It concludes with a discussion of the impacts and potential future avenues for research on digitally quilting social justice. Dr Angelika Strohmayer is an interdisciplinary technology researcher and lecturer at Northumbria Universitys School of Design and founding member of the fempower.tech collective. Inspired by Feminist Participatory Action research and Research through Design, she works collaboratively on in-the-world projects, engaging people at all stages of the research process to craft more just worlds.
