Artwork for Freedom is a visual activism website that uses artists and their works all over the world to spread awareness about human trafficking. Their vision, which is written in their website, is to use the power of “…imagination to end human trafficking.” To them, art is a medium to create awareness – the website and its artists work locally and globally to engage art in all its forms (this includes installations, performance art, film, etc).
How ArtWork for Freedom works is that they work with NGO’s who are partnered with the campaign to help them spread awareness and fundraise. From the looks of it, ArtWork for Freedom host art based events worldwide, from the US to Mumbai, have blogs with Q&A’s of their artists and a page to contact and donate to the website. This is one of the most powerful, well thought-out social media type visual activism I had seen.
