ARTIVISM

Exploring new artistic forms of political expressions in multicultural cities, ARTIVISM investigates artistic resistance in times of crisis and/or in oppressive conditions. ARTIVISM seeks to understand how social actors engage artistically in order to bring about social, economic and political changes.
