I find artistic activism to be very interesting. I like it because it allows those who are more silent and want to spread the word, like me, to involve themselves with activism without being physically on the front lines. There are many ways to represent art in different ways. It doesn’t have to be only drawing, but there are singing, dancing, photography, and many more visual aspects. I love performance art because I love doing different things and seeing things that have a deeper meaning behind them too. Personally, I haven’t done artistic activism, maybe only one time for my environmental science class. Actually, we had a whole project on water, and my group had a short animation on two water droplets and a hint at water pollution, so I guess it was more than once. I want to try and make more, though, because it looks pretty nice and is interesting to learn more about. I know there are different ways to represent various forms of activism. I like seeing art made for environmental activism because I’ve involved myself with that more times. I love seeing art because it makes you feel, but it’s also a mild form of activism. This art will stay for years, and people will look over it over time and try to reenact it, which is why most photography is taken during protests because it captures the moment. I hope to see more of these arts because they’re very interesting to look at and learn about. You learn about what the art means and stick with that meaning for a long time.
