Artvocacy - Part 1 of Gen Z: We Are The Future’s 2022 Skill Exposition!
In January, Gen Z: We Are The Future’s 2022 Skill Exposition will kick off with our very first workshop: Artvocacy! What is artvocacy, you ask? Artvocacy is defined as the usage of art to advocate for social issues. Though it has been referred to under many names throughout history, it has always been an intrinsic part of social justice movements in some form or another. Whether it be visual arts, music, dance, photography, ceramics, or more, artvocacy has an enormous impact on our society. It’s extremely useful in social justice because it’s easily understood by people from all walks of life. If you want to learn more about how we can use art in our world, you can attend this workshop on the 23rd of January. You will have the chance to meet and learn from activists who have used art to amplify their voices and their messages.
