❝ Art with Purpose ❞
❝ Activism merging with boundless imagination of Art ❞
There are many different definitions of the word ‘Artivism’. Art speaks better and more than words, because of its unique creative force and its power to connect with people. I present my work is a part of the act since I speak for what I love— the endangered.
My Artivism started out of LOVE, love of indigenous cultures and their wisdom regarding environments.
It was in 2017, after travelling for almost 5 years spending most of the time in remote places. The connection with all the unique souls I met has planted the love of numerous cultures in me. As the feeling of love grew bigger every day, I felt more sensitive about how those unique tribes and traditions are endangered by the modern lifestyle.
Back then I was in Australia working at a private primary school. I was deeply in love with Australian indigenous cultures but the school was not teaching much about it and the land, of course, its beautiful culture was far out from the classroom. So I personally researched it in detail to talk about it in my class. I saw children fill their imagination more stories they never heard of and their eyes blooming with vibrant colours. Then, later on, I decided to ‘study’ more closely and deeply.
One day, as fate would have it, one of my music busker friends recommended trying art busking. And I did. I drew about ‘the original Australian’ culture and throughout the time I did many of them. However I did not JUST draw outside but I talked to people, especially with children, about those inspiring stories that I studied about.
Ever since it has evolved. The busking act, idea and concept, inspiration and so on. What I am most grateful about is that I can contribute my skills and imagination to the world for its good.
