About Artivism Media
What is Artivism Media?
Artivism Media is a multimedia archive and search engine dedicated to preserving, organizing, and making accessible content related to artivism—the intersection of art and activism. Our platform serves as a comprehensive repository for videos, audio, images, documents, and links that document social movements, countercultures, avant-garde movements, and collective actions.
We believe that cultural and social movements deserve to be documented, searchable, and accessible to researchers, activists, artists, and the general public. Our mission is to create a living archive that grows with the movements it documents.
Our Mission
Artivism Media exists to democratize access to movement history and contemporary activism. We provide tools for discovery, analysis, and citation of multimedia content that might otherwise be scattered across the web or lost to time.
Our platform is designed for:
- Researchers studying social movements and cultural history
- Activists seeking inspiration and historical context
- Artists exploring the intersection of art and social change
- Educators teaching about contemporary movements
- Anyone interested in understanding how art and activism intersect
