All of these dynamic heARTivists use their art as a form of activism. For some, pursuing and sharing art is a form of activism through the preservation of history, culture and artistic traditions. Art can also be an evocative medium to address inequalities towards marginalized groups and various inadequacies across the globe, evident in the work of each of these individuals.
