Eco-artivism

Artivism as a collective and collaborative movement stems from restoring artistic activities to generate direct social intervention in communities.

Literary critic H.B. Jassin once said that artists embodied the internal power of a nation. In them (poets, authors, painters, sculptors, composers, and other creators) were the accumulation and formation of either the internal wealth or poverty of a nation. Artists were also transmitters of this internal power through their creative work, in the form of poems, stories, plays, paintings, sculptures, songs, and others.

His statement, made more than seven decades ago, is still manifested today. The sharpness of their senses and the sensitivity of their conscience allow artists to provide a testimony of the life issues they experience. Testimony and understanding of reality generate self-expression and creativity for some artists, which then encourage social solidarity and engagement.
