Artivist Manifesto
Believe in the power of art to disrupt, to heal, and to liberate.
Art is not a luxury; it is a necessary weapon. It is the language of the oppressed, the cry of the marginalized, and the vision of the free. Through art, confront the world as it is and imagine the world as it must be.
Reject the illusion of peace without justice.
Peace built on subjugation is not peace—it is silence. Stand with those who resist, fight, and refuse to accept the chains of oppression. Liberation is not a gift; it is a right, and it is won through struggle.
Amplify the voices of the unheard.
Art is not neutral; it is a platform for the marginalized, the exploited, and the forgotten. Create to uplift stories that systems of power seek to erase. Art is a megaphone for the silenced, a mirror for the world to see its own injustices.
Confront systems of power without apology.
Capitalism, colonialism, racism, and patriarchy are not abstract concepts—they are lived realities. Art exposes their violence, challenges their dominance, and demands their dismantling “by any means necessary.” Do not wait for permission to fight for what is right.
Embrace the complexity of resistance.
Resistance is not monolithic. It is protest; it is creation; it is survival; it is joy. Celebrate the many ways people fight for their freedom, from the streets to the canvas. Art is rebellion, survival, and hope.
Believe in art as a tool for collective liberation.
Art is for the people—for those who see themselves in art and feel less alone. Create to inspire action, build solidarity, and remind the world that another future is possible. Fight for land, freedom, and dignity—for the material and spiritual liberation of all.
Be unapologetically hopeful.
In the face of despair, choose hope—not the naive hope of passive waiting, but the radical hope of those who fight for a better world. Art is a testament to the belief that justice is worth the struggle. Believe in the power of the people to rise, resist, and reclaim their humanity.
Be an Artivist.
Create not just to reflect the world, but to change it. Do not wait for others to join you; do not be afraid to begin alone; every movement starts with one person. Be a spark, voice, and vision. Another world is possible, and it begins with you.
