Artivism NOW! - podcast cover

Artivism NOW!

We discuss the intersection between art and activism and how artists the world over are making a statement with their work. Politics, culture, and current events inform and carry forward the work of artists. These interviews tell the story of people who are dedicated to truth telling and compassion in a cynical world. Join us and support their work whenever possible.
