From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

Cultural activism is the denomination of several creative practices and activities which challenge dominant interpretations and constructions of the world while presenting alternative socio-political and spatial imaginaries in ways which challenge relationships between art, politics, participation, and spectatorship. It implies the use and creation of cultural products to promote social change and may include art, literature, music, cinema, among others.[citation needed]

Notable examples include culture jamming, subvertising, muralling, rebel clowning, urban knitting, guerrilla urbanism, political theatre and many other whimsical, non-violent approaches to protest and activism.[1]
