Art & Activism Festival

My festival idea: Art & Activism.

1. Access: The festival is on public space, it is on the streets but also connected to alleys. The boundaries are marketed by cones and signs in the alleys and on the streets. It is also accessible to everyone, there is no cost.

2. Connection: The theme activism including but not limited to: climate justice, pride, indigenous justice, black lives matter, and free Palestine. The place has no specific connection to the theme of activism, for the space simply provides large spaces for people to display art. It attracts people from all over. It is a space to engage in different forms of art, such as film, music, poetry, and painting.

2. Impact: The impact of the festival is to allow a creative, diverse display of art that showcases the many different issues going on in the world. It is a space that allows for all types of movements to connect and support one another. The festival is funded by different non-profits in Chicago who are willing to show their support to these movements. The only people that may be negatively impacted are those who live near the streets and may face transportation barriers, or perhaps individuals who do not support a movement featured.
