Art activism, or artivism, is a powerful way to directly contest harmful gender norms and nurture new and more equitable gender norms. Given the emotional impact of art, artivism has the ability to highlight contradictions, appeal to the imagination and stimulate important dialogue.
Together with artist, Ipsita Dwivedi, ALIGN has produced this short illustrated explainer booklet to tell you all you need to know about this powerful form of activism.
