Artivism Media Launch
We're excited to announce the launch of Artivism Media, a comprehensive multimedia archive and search engine dedicated to preserving and making accessible content related to artivism—the intersection of art and activism.
What is Artivism Media?
Artivism Media serves as a living archive that documents social movements, countercultures, avant-garde movements, and collective actions through multimedia content. Our platform indexes videos, audio, images, documents, and links, with a special focus on Creative Commons licensed and public domain content.
Key Features
- Advanced Search: Full-text search with filters by media type, date, location, license, and more
- Timeline Visualization: Explore content distribution over time
- Geographic Mapping: Discover content by location
- Commons Section: Browse freely reusable Creative Commons and public domain content
- Collections: Curated editorial collections organized by themes and movements
Our Mission
We believe that cultural and social movements deserve to be documented, searchable, and accessible to researchers, activists, artists, and the general public. Artivism Media exists to democratize access to movement history and contemporary activism.
