The connection between art and activism offers stigmatized sectors of society the possibility for creative, poetic and sensual political intervention. Going beyond traditional forms of activism and disobedience, artivism challenges our understandings of what art is in terms of its circulation, visibility and participation in the public sphere. To deal with the problems of artistic circulation, due above all to the racism of omission, artivism uses numerous languages and resources such as street art, video, music, performance, poetry, net art and intervention not only to represent reality, but to engage in transformations, mobilizing and inspiring the viewer.
