Artivism: Art as an Agent for Change

Traditionally, art and artists have walked a fine line between art and politics, often blurring the boundaries to make a point. In the 21st Century, Artivism is taking centre stage as a platform for Artists from all disciplines to make a statement and advocate for change, oftentimes through messages of hope and joy. Join Rodney Diverlus, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Canada, and Thom Allison, director of Rent, for a conversation on joy as activism and the Artivism movement.
