An Introduction to Activist Art | The Collector | by Stefanie Graf
Quote: When the public is looking away from suffering that could be prevented or does not want to be confronted with it, activist art often creates a dialogue and forces people to think about these problems.
respond: Most times people will suffer but not tell anyone or do anything to change that and will keep suffering until they finally see what is wrong and shed light on the problem. Activist art will shed light into problems that people didnt know that were there in the first place and help them solve it so they can no longer suffer
Quote: The interests, hardships, and experiences of marginalized groups are often underrepresented or not discussed at all
Respond: Many people have amazing talents that can make breakthroughs and change the world but are often not looked much into because they are underrepresented. It is tough to get people to see what you are doing when you do not have an audience and are severely underrated.
WHY ARTISTIC ACTIVISM? | Center for Artistic Activism
Quote: Artistic Activism 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.
Respond: I think what this means is that Artistic Activism is a very powerful tool that if used by the right hands it can help change the world and shape it into a better place for all people. It can inspire people and emotionally move people to the right place
Quote: It enables activists to imagine new tactics, strategies and goals to keep campaigns fresh and make them more effective.
Respond: I think this is trying to say how Artistic Activism is very creative because if you want to see real change you need to keep everything fresh and motivate people with new material because that is the only way to make your protest more effective. If you have people put in hard work and get inspired it can reach true colors and shape a new beginning for everyone
Artists Using Their Creativity to Drive Activism | Global Citizen
Quote: There’s more than one way to be an activist, and that is to say, there’s more than one way to raise your voice and speak up in the name of change
Respond: from what I am reading I think this is trying to say that anyone can be an activist and no requirement needs to be fulfilled. As long as you have a good voice, a true heart, and a reason for a better change anyone can be one
Quote: In every fight for justice there is a story to be told. Art is one of the most powerful tools we have for communicating those stories, sharing lived experiences, and fighting for global change in the mission to end extreme poverty and the systemic causes that drive it.
Respond: Every time people fight for justice and change there is a reason why this is happening there is always a story behind why people are fighting for change. This also lets us know that we don’t have just our voice but our creativity to make art. They use art to tell stories about injustice and how they want to change that so everyone can be equal. It’s a very hard mission but with tough work and a group of people you can achieve anything.
ART AS ACTIVISM POST - choose an artwork
This image tells us how life was in the past. All the men were looked at as tough, strong, and brave because they went to war and survived while the women stayed home all day being housewives. Even if the men didn't go to war they still had to go outside for jobs so they could help their families. It's like they were trying to say that women cannot take their jobs, "it's only a man's job" as some people were saying.
