CIVICUS speaks with Nicola Haskins, a choreographer, dancer and lecturer at South Africa’s Tshwane University of Technology Performing Arts Dance Stream, about her approach to climate activism through the arts.
Artivism combines art and activism to address social issues, using creative expression as a tool to inspire change. Art helps stimulate reflection, raise awareness, foster empathy and inspire action. In Africa’s diverse cultural landscape, artivism plays an important role in drawing attention to pressing issues such as climate change, human rights and social justice.
