The first annual ARTIVISM was a chance for students to get involved in campus culture and be the artists that shape UBC. Students created, exhibited, performed and shared their own works of artistic activism throughout the campus. The festival was held in the spaces of the Museum of Anthropology, Belkin Art Gallery, Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, Barnett Hall, Dorothy Somerset Studio Theatre, Hatch Gallery, MAS and AHVA art gallery, where student-led dialogues, exhibits, art sales and performances were hosted.
ARTIVISM highlights stories of resilience and student activist art practice that challenge dominant narratives through arts and culture.
