I am pretty new to Artivism. I decided to learn more about it by visiting artist-activist Oliver Ressler at his solo show ’Barricading the Ice Sheets’ at the Laboral Art and Industrial Creation in Gijon, Spain. It is said to be the largest exhibition on climate activism in Spain.
In this video, Oliver gives us a private tour of the exhibition, tells us the back story of each work, and discusses how art can be used to call for social changes. If you don’t have the patience, you can skip certain parts of the video using the TIMESTAMPS below.
