Artivism Week at MOLAA: Self-expression and Protest!

Yesterday at MOLAA, Summer Camp students surprised museum guests by quietly staging a “sit-in” inspired by our work during “Artivism Week.” Crafted with hand-made signs and larger-than-life puppets, this event joined together thirty-seven students ages 6 to 17 to show how art can communicate important social messages - even in the absence of words. We are so proud of each and every one of our campers for their thoughtfulness, creativity, and bravery. @nightowlstudio @juancarlosperez927 @goblin_market #EducationwithMOLAA #learnwithmolaa

Artivism is the fusion of "Art" and "Activism.” This dynamic form of art can communicate ideas and challenge stereotypes through mediums like graphic design, performances, and music. This program empowers students to use art and creativity as a tool for change by exploring examples of "artivism" in social movements such as Environmentalism, Body Positivity and Accessibility.
