This week’s reading reflection, “Why Artistic Activism” the reading explains the creative power of art motivates us to change the world today. Every meaning behind a painting tells a message about what people are fighting for whether it’s climate change, women, or equal’s rights. The goal of Artistic Activism exists simply to create an effect on their activism and spread awareness of what they are fighting and see if people are willing to join the activism or have an inspiration for their own activism. I feel like the more art we put into activism the more we get people’s attention and the more people will pay attention, and also join the movement. This is inspiring for other people to get into the idea of being creative when it comes to activism, while reading this I thought about some arts that are good and some that are depressing that it’ll make you feel like you’re willing to make a change in the world. Not many people don’t care about activism but when it comes to creativity, art, poetry, etc maybe it’ll change people’s minds and join activism. Activism art has been going on throughout history starting with photography during the civil rights movement. All the photos that are taken during the civil rights protest and riot tell a message for equal rights sometimes people do graffiti on the famous civil rights activist and do something creative to give an inspiring message about what people are fighting for. Artistic Activism is known to empower people throughout the community.
