Each artist is in conversation with Farah, sharing how they use their artistic practice of performing, choreographing and teaching to advocate for equality and justice, and the unique ways they are raising awareness about various systems of oppression through their passion, compassion, and commitment displayed through their heart led art and activism. This beautifully powerful combination is what we call heARTivism.
