aRTIVISM
Art + Activism = ?
'As any seasoned activist can tell you, people just don’t decide to change their mind and act accordingly, they are personally moved to do so by emotionally powerful stimuli. We’re moved by affective experiences to do physical actions that result in concrete effects: affect leads to effect.'
-CENTRE FOR ARTISTIC ACTIVISM
Art is a strong tool for change. It can capture people's attention and motivate them to take action.
By using art to tackle social and political problems, connect communities, and promote sustainability, it can bring about positive social change. Art can change the way we think and start important conversations. It raises awareness about social issues and helps create a better society. Throughout history, artists have used their art to speak up against political and social problems.
Art can also unite people from diverse backgrounds and give marginalized communities a voice. Additionally, it can shed light on social issues and motivate people to act.
We develop visual art installations and murals for public spaces, which are designed and developed by our founder in collaboration with our multi-award-winning design team at Manasaram Architects. Our artivism workshops are launching in December 2024 at the CGBMT HQ in Devanhalli!

In the past, we have harnessed the power of photography and collaborated with various artists to share intersectional experiences of street harassment. Here are some examples of photo series we’ve done in the past in Australia.
