Carrefour créatif

Lieu

University Of British Columbia

Vancouver, BC

Welcome to Artivism, this 2023 theme is "Madness of the Masses," where radical creativity merges with collective liberation. Brace yourself for immersive experiences where art and culture become a catalyst for challenging the confines of a capitalist system. Artivism 2023 invites you to the spaces of storytelling, where we seek to challenge class systems, highlighting the mental and emotional effects of oppression, and ultimately invite imagination to envision a culture of community and collective care through creativity.

In this space, we delve deep into the realm where madness becomes a catalyst for radical transformation, and highlights the oppressive nature of our system. Embracing the power of creative expression as we tell the personalized and collective stories of an impersonal system, through open mics, workshops, art exhibitions, theatrical performances, and more.

Artivism 2023 draws profound inspiration from a myriad of cultures of resistance, including (but not limited to) Indigenous, Filipino, Palestinian, Black, and Queer communities. We strive to cultivate a vibrant shared space, where diverse collectives come together for resistance, guided by the strength of these marginalized masses. Our festival celebrates a powerful collective unity in the face of oppressive systems.

Moreover, the beauty of these cultures lies not only in their resistance but also in their cultures of care. Artivism 2023 invites all participants to revel in the collective resilience demonstrated through captivating cultural performances. As we bask in the richness of these diverse expressions, we are inspired to envision a global culture of care that transcends current systems and drives meaningful reform.

We strive to create a festival that not only challenges the status quo but also empowers each individual to embrace their role in creating positive change.

Through the fusion of art and activism, Join Artivism, as we rage in our resistance and reconnect in our resilience.
