THEMED GALLERY | ARTVOCACY X ARTISTIC ADVOCATES PRESENT:
IDENTITY IN THE MODERN WORLD
A collaborative art exhibition, artivists across the globe highlight what identity truly means today. In the wake of the BLM and unjust killings, conversations surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion have been more prevalent than ever. Art is a catalyst for such conversations - and more, actions beyond words.
