From: Critical Social Work Praxis
$1.90
The author explains/explores Creative feminist practice– or what she calls feminist ARTivism– which she argues is a crucial way to foster joy, connection and meaningful social change; ARTivism is a practice of using art to communicate and convince (Transken 2007). Feminist ARTivism is a form of feminist praxis that uses art to explain and explore gendered injustice, and the author believes that creative feminism enhances the profession of social work.
