During the induction to being part of the Skaped Team (I applied to work with them to organize the Artvisim Festival), I was introduced to some projects that are related to artivism and have given me a little bit of inspiration. Also, some others I’ve found them through research.

All of them are different ways of doing brilliant interventions!

1. The Museum of Broken Relationships – A physical and online museum exhibiting personal objects donated by people worldwide to represent and process the end of relationships, capturing universal emotions of love and loss.
2. Catcalls of New York – A social art project where instances of street harassment are chalked verbatim on sidewalks where they occurred, raising awareness of gender-based harassment and empowering those who’ve experienced it.
3. Empathy Museum – An interactive museum that hosts installations like “A Mile in My Shoes,” where visitors can literally walk in someone else’s shoes and listen to personal stories, fostering empathy and understanding.
4. The Pansy Project – Artist Paul Harfleet plants pansies at sites of homophobic abuse, symbolizing resilience and remembrance, while raising awareness of LGBTQ+ discrimination.
5. Poetry for Passers-by – A public art initiative where poems are displayed in urban spaces to surprise, inspire, and offer a moment of reflection to people passing through everyday city life.
