What is What is Artivism Artivism? ? Artivism is a dynamic practice combining the creative power of the arts to move us emotionally with the strategic planning of activism necessary to bring about social change. Where art tends to be limited to museums and galleries, and activism to street demonstrations, artivism can be anywhere, at home or in streets, shopping malls, or Infront of the building of parliament or in social media too. Artivism can be more attractive, approachable, and friendly than traditional art or activism practices. And most importantly, it is well suited for any age, for any gadgets like phone cameras and social networks. People don t share policy papers, they share things that move them.
Artivism is an activism that doesn t look like activism and art that doesn t look like art. The ability of artivism to surprise us to show up in unlikely places (e.g. not a gallery) or take on unfamiliar forms (e.g. not a protest) provides an opportunity to disrupt people s preconceived notions of art and protest, and their predetermined ideas about the messages we are trying to communicate.

Creating and sustaining lasting change demands a change in values, beliefs and patterns of behavior. - Artivism is aimed at hearts and minds, goal is to persuade by creating moving experiences that prompt people to question the world as it is, imagine a world as it could be, and join together to make that new world real
