The Center for Artistic Activism helps activists use creativity to win. We train and support people to make advocacy more effective, imaginative, and impactful because imagination powers change, and changes power.
This one filled up fast ✨ Forging Anti-Fascist Futures is now FULL.

For those attending: please plan to join live on Wed Jan 21, 12–2pm ET. Unlike past events, this workshop will not be recorded—it relies on participation.

See you soon. #FuturesThinking #ArtisticActivism

Imagine this: a nationwide Amazon worker strike stretching from data centers to distribution hubs. That’s a Future Screenshot—an artifact from a possible future.

9/10 Fascism narrows what we can imagine. Anti-fascist creativity expands it.

8/10 That’s what Forging Anti-Fascist Futures is about.

7/10 Utopian thinking doesn't say: Here is the answer.

It asks:
what if things were different?
why aren't they?
what would we need to change?
January 15, 2026 at 6:56 PM
6/10 Artistic activism doesn’t just criticize what’s wrong.

It lets us experience what could be right.

It makes alternatives feel real,
before they’re possible.
January 15, 2026 at 6:55 PM
5/10 Once we allow ourselves, even briefly, to imagine a different world, we can no longer believe the present is the only possibility, and that crack in reality?
January 15, 2026 at 6:54 PM
4/10 and yet... Utopia is a place that doesn't exist.
January 15, 2026 at 6:53 PM
3/10 Utopia is a world far better than the one we live in now

1/10 Fascism tells us there is no alternative.
Artistic activism proves that wrong.

Join us for Forging Anti-Fascist Futures, and use imagination as a tool for resistance.
