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.

Artists At War

The title “Artists At War” might lead you to believe that this is a militant group, but quite to the contrary, it’s an effort to describe and creatively participate in a culture of resistance in a society engaged in permanent war.

Artists At War

Featuring artists and their work regularly (roughly monthly), Artists At War provides shelter and exposure for work that defies a market that tends to be anesthetized and distracted. We encourage artists to share work here regardless of whether the thrust of the work is didactically “Anti-War.” Artists At War aims to demonstrate and record what we as creative actors do and say during these tumultuous times.

A Los Angeles based collaboration between activists Thomas McKenzie and Steven L. Anderson, artists who participate are featured on their website and in the GYST Newsletter.  They also maintain a blog and an incredible list of arts and activism resources.
