1h 33m
Traditionally, art and artists have walked a fine line between art and politics, often blurring the boundaries to make a point. In the 21st Century, Artivism is taking centre stage as a platform for Artists from all disciplines to make a statement and advocate for change, oftentimes through messages of hope and joy. Join Rodney Diverlus, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Canada, and Thom Allison, director of Rent, for a conversation on joy as activism and the Artivism movement.
The episode is hosted by Beck Lloyd and Khadijah Roberts-Abdullah.
Support for The Meighen Forum is generously provided by Kelly & Michael Meighen and the T.R. Meighen Family Foundation.
