A multitude of intertwined concepts (textile techniques and technologies, social and labor movements, politics, communities, culture and identity, cross-generational influence) come together to illuminate the ways craft, fashion, and design have intersected and melded over the past century.

"Rob Kall has been the center of a vast, decentralized conversation for years, letting us hear in interviewees' own words the power of connection in every realm. His new book brings it all together, showing us that the old order is broken and fast being replaced from the bottom up. The old power elite may not know it yet, but millions of us -- organizers, artists, thinkers and doers -- have gotten the message. So should you, by reading Bottom-Up."

Arlene Goldbard, author of The Culture of Possibility: Art, Artists & The Future
