Global Artivism - Call For Participation

Asia Regional Virtual Convening 27 - 29 October 2026 | Mapping the Movement Together - Embracing Cultural Activism for a Safe and Just World
A note before you begin

Global Artivism is entering a new chapter. Through six regional virtual convenings, we are creating spaces where artists, artivists, cultural practitioners, organizers, and storytellers can connect, learn from one another, and help shape the future of the movement. This form helps us understand who is already doing this work, what challenges communities are responding to, and what questions, experiences, and practices need to be part of the conversation. We are not looking for perfect answers, professional language, or polished applications. We are interested in your experience, your context, and your perspective. You may respond in any language. You may submit written responses, voice notes, or short videos. There is no funding attached to this submission. There are no wrong answers. We need your voice because a movement can only grow when it can see and learn from itself.

A final note

This is not about finding the “best” projects or the most polished stories. We are interested in understanding the many ways artivism is being practiced across different places, struggles, and communities. Whether your work is just beginning, has been ongoing for years, has reached thousands of people, or has changed the lives of a small group, your experience matters. By sharing your story, you are helping the movement see itself, learn from itself, and grow together. Thank you for your participation!
