In 2023, we invited unpaid carers from across Wales to embroider their experiences of caring onto a

yellow duster. These dusters were presented to MPs at the Welsh Parliament, calling for improved

rights. Caring Craftivists is our shared story.

In this episode of Caring Craftivists, we are joined by Ceri, an unpaid carer from Wales, who shares

her inspiring journey of embroidering a duster for the We Care campaign.

With nearly 30 years of caring experience, Ceri reflects on her role in supporting family members

with cognitive issues and disabilities.

We delve into the creative process behind her duster, which became a canvas for her emotions and

activism. Ceri discusses the significance of the words and images she chose, revealing how this

artistic expression served as a powerful outlet for her experiences as a carer.

Throughout the conversation, Ceri's passion for activism shines through as she emphasises the

importance of lived experiences in shaping policy. She highlights the need for policymakers to

remember the realities faced by unpaid carers, urging them not to overlook their struggles.

As we explore the impact of creativity on Ceri's perspective, she shares how her relationship with art

has evolved, allowing her to channel her experiences into meaningful activism. The duster, a

seemingly simple object, becomes a symbol of resilience and empowerment, challenging the

traditional narratives surrounding caring roles.

Join us as we celebrate Ceri's journey, her unwavering spirit, and the profound connection between

creativity and care.
