Many social movements are inspired by concepts like love, freedom, justice… 

But those intangible words continue to be abstract entities until we turn them into concrete actions. 

Being a feminist, in theory, is wonderful but until you convert the philosophy behind that word into concrete actions that contribute to creating a better world for women, feminism remains exactly that – just a word. 

However, through art and activism, all these abstract words have the potential to become tangible and personal because once you start taking action you are then faced with questions like “what am I willing to give” and “what am I willing to give up”?  

Only then, your point of view has become activism.

Social change doesn’t just happen, it happens because you have decided to make it happen. 

You have decided to make a change. 

In this episode, we question whether podcasting can be a means of creative activism and explore the nature of our own artistic activism through podcasting by highlighting some of the powerful voices that are leading the fight for change in our society. 

We also discuss some of the many ways in which artistic activism is continuously showing up around us in different endeavours from painting to music, film, and even comics! 

As Theodor Adorno, a famous philosopher said  “all art is an uncommitted crime”. 

In other words, by its very nature art challenges the status quo.

Art and activism go hand in hand. 

One moves us mentally and emotionally, the other physically. 

Combined, both are powerful catalysts for the kind of positive transformation that is needed today. 

Some episode!
