About Global Artivism

Global Artivism is a movement that recognizes art and culture as powerful tools for social transformation.

Through its work, Global Artivism aims to strengthen the infrastructure, relationships, and resources necessary for cultural movements to drive meaningful change.

Emergent and adaptive methods of working
Transparency and accountability

The movement is governed by a Global Council composed of artists, activists, and movement leaders from different regions around the world.
