Feminist art has long been central to global feminist and social justice movements, blending creativity with resistance to challenge oppression and foster solidarity. Artivism — a fusion of art and activism — captures this synergy. But what is artivism? The term artivism refers both to artists who engage in activism through their work (activist art) and activists who use art as a tool within their broader repertoire of actions (art activism). From the UK’s embroidered banners in early feminist waves, to Pakistan’s Aurat March posters and Chile’s dance-led protests, feminist artivism has amplified movements and nurtured collective imagination.
