Dedicated to critical cultural production at the intersection of art and activism.

We cover artists from around the globe whose work explores and realizes social change. Our goal is to provide a narrative about these activist efforts while simultaneously participating in them. Maintained by The Groundswell Collective since 2007.

Part of It is a collection of designers and artists brought together by Christopher Sleboda and Kathleen Burns of Gluekit to create products (t-shirts and totes) for charitable causes.

The causes are as varied as The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) and The International Dyslexia Association, and contributing artists come from all over – Paris, Ohio, Brooklyn.

They have some great designs (my personal favorites are Ryan Walker’s designs for the MOMA and New York Public Library) and even better ethics, which are worth sharing:

Expressions of protest, simple declarations, moving graphics that encourage conversation and dialogue—there are many ways to enter into and encourage civic discourse. We believe activism can be fun, personal, beautiful and engaging; we can all play a part in making a better world for ourselves, for our communities, and for future generations.
