Artivist Network

The Artivist Network works at the interface of art and activism because of the great potential for creativity and innovation to lift up, visualize and tell new stories; challenge and subvert dominant narratives; and bring new people into movement organizing. They understand public facing activism as a tool to intervene in dominant societal narratives, teaching and encouraging forms of creative activism that add new narratives to the public discourse to question, challenge, and reimagine structural norms and injustices by recentering debates around shared societal values.

Artivists are committed to the long-term, deep work of empowering and connecting artivists. Their commitment to unbranded work in support of local leadership, adds important additional capacity and network to bring local projects, initiatives, and stories to an international arena. They are currently scaling up their work and team in order to grow into a diverse and horizontal global network of artistic activists with the power to execute independent artist-led coordinated global creative projects that tackle the root causes of the climate crisis.
