Call for Session Proposals for 2nd Global Artivism Convening

Calling All Artivists*, Artists, Culture Keepers, Intellectuals, Scientists,
Thought-Leaders, Activists, Philanthropists, & Practitioners in all Relevant Fields

We are seeking proposals for sessions and cultural activations for the Second Global Artivism
Convening in Salvador, where arts, culture and activism will converge to ignite social change!

*Artivism is the fusion of art and activism—the practice of using cultural expression to transform
society, culture, beliefs, and behaviors. It spans all artistic disciplines and draws on the emotional and
communicative power of art.

The Second Global Artivism Convening aims to:
● Showcase how arts and culture can catalyze structural change.
● Create spaces to strategize around how to build cultural and narrative power in frontline
communities.
● Explore and address the unique challenges faced by Artivists, particularly in the Global South.
● Bridge Artivism with other sectors organizing for justice and climate solutions.
The convening will bring together artists, activists, educators, and cultural workers from across the
globe, to uplift marginalized artist voices, foster cross-movement collaboration, and inspire bold,
creative approaches to building a more equitable world. We are seeking proposals for dynamic panels,
interactive workshops, strategy sessions, performances, and artistic interventions designed to spark
collaboration across sectors and geographies.
