CIVICUS speaks with Hope Azeda, a playwright, director and founder of Mashirika Performing Arts and Media Company, about her use of art as a tool for peacebuilding.
Artivism combines art and activism to address social issues, using creative expression as a tool to inspire change. Art helps stimulate reflection, raise awareness, foster empathy and inspire action. In Africa’s diverse cultural landscape, artivism plays an important role in drawing attention to pressing issues such as climate change, human rights and social justice.
