Meet the ICAAD Artivists

Art is a powerful tool to envision a better future. It allows communication across borders and languages, and can challenge harmful narratives while building solidarity. We believe art as advocacy fundamental to our mission as an organization, and are supporting artivists to create public arts projects. Our Artivist-in-Residence program features emerging and underrepresented artists across the world whose work explores human rights.
