How can art & activism  make a difference to change a point of view, or to powerfully impact social change? Activist art challenges  traditional boundaries as represented by those in power. Like protest art, activist art practice emerged partly out of a call for art to be connected to a wider audience, and to open up spaces where the marginalized and disenfranchised can be seen and heard. Activist art incorporates the use of public space to address socio-political issues and to encourage community and public participation as a means of bringing about social change  that can work to foster participation in dialogue, raise consciousness, and empower individuals and communities. Activist art is important to an understanding of its importance alongside political, economical, and social forces in movements and acts of social change.
