When people approach the installation art, the first thing they will notice is a trash can resembling marine animals, which is crafted from recycled plastic.
After disposing of their waste into the bin, they might promptly realize the concealed message behind it - that they are symbolically feeding plastic waste to marine creatures.

Artivism. What does it mean? Why did I choose to name my podcast the Women Mind the Water Artivist Series? And what is the difference between artivism and an artivist?

What is the Meaning of Artivism?

A simple definition is that artivism is the combination of two words activism + artist. An artivist is an artist whose work is a reflection of her activism. Do a Google search and chances are you'll find the word artivism linked decades ago to the Chicano movement. The date varies depending on what site you read; however, the art show is decidedly linked to activism. It calls for social change. A more definite date is 2009. That's when the Center for Artistic Activism was established. It was founded to teach practices that use "the best of each to leverage creativity and culture and successfully bring about social change." Steve Duncombe, one of the Center's founders, had done his own research to try and find the historical roots of artivism. He came to realize that EVERY successful activist movement no matter how far back he looked involved elements of creativity, culture, and innovation. In other words, " successful activism is artistic activism." The creative expression used to cultivate awareness embraces many artistic disciplines including visual art, written word, and, in the case of some of the artivists I've featured on my Artivist Series podcast, cake, felt, dance and much more.
"If we look back historically, artists have always been the culture changers who have reflected or documented what was going on culturally, from Goya to all of the incredible feminist artists and painters, and conceptual artists who I love."
Dianna Cohen, Women Mind the Water Artivist Series podcast guest and co-founder of Plastic Pollution Coalition.

Artivism is not limited to issues of social change. What the artists on my podcast have in common is a love of nature. They are driven by a variety of issues such as climate change, plastic pollution, extinction, and others. Furthermore, these artists do not communicate their concerns with a singular form of art. Their message their work conveys may be strike like a hammer or whisper softly but it resonates with our emotions. It is a universal language that gets under our skin and leaves an impression behind our eyeballs.

Artivism for the Ocean and Sea Life

My brand of artivism is deeply rooted in the Ocean. I am interested in calling attention to the impact of human activity upon the ocean and her creatures. In my own art, I create images of marine animals, ocean-inspired videos and installations. All are meant to stimulate conversation about a range of issues relating to the ocean and hopefully encourage others to take action. The aim of the entire body of work that is Women Mind the Water is to share stories and art that raises awareness of the connection between humans and water, reflects upon the ways humans engage with, and encourages taking responsibility for the ocean.

Pam Longobardi, an American contemporary artist and ecofeminist was a guest on the Women Mind the Water Artivist Series. Her Drifters Project creates sculptural installations from plastic debris that she has collected from marine and coastal environments across the globe. In her work, Pam Longobardi is making a visual statement about global consumption and the vast amounts of plastic objects that impact most remote places and their inhabitants around the globe.

"I have a particular interest in the combination of art, science, and activism. It's a sort of triangulation that involves both sides of the mind and the heart, the heart of the activist. And so I think that is also something that is a necessary combination. We will need this for all aspects of humanity moving." Pam Longobardi, Women Mind the Water Artivist Series guest
Another example of an artivist is Dianna Cohen. She is an American visual artist as well as CEO and co-founder of the Plastic Pollution Coalition. The organization advocates for the reduction of plastic pollution. Dianne considers herself a painter although her body of work includes collage work made from plastic bags. She began by deconstructing the bags and layering them, putting them together, cutting them, and creating different shapes.

"Artists have always been the culture changers who have reflected or documented what was going on culturally, from Goya to all of the incredible feminist artists and painters, and conceptual artists who I love... I really value in the work that we do to raise awareness about plastic pollution, and that connection as well, to climate and climate change and how it impacts human health. They include Alvero Solera Arpa, who is an artist based in Catalonia, in Spain. He makes these life-sized imaginary, contemporary dinosaur sculptures out of the bones of animals, and he wires them and creates them in a way with rebar so that they look like they're running or in motion, and he fills the chest cavities with plastic pollution. And those pieces to me are very, very powerful. They remind me, as well, of photographs taken by Susan Middleton and Chris Jordan of dead adolescent Laysan albatross on Midway Island, who have died, and then in situ as the body decomposes, all that's left is an entire stomach or gut that was full of plastic. And this is plastic that was fed to them by the parents, lovingly, thinking that it was food, so regurgitated, fed to the babies, and the babies die with their stomachs full of plastic. And for me, those photographs, and then Alvero's sculptures, represent a metaphor for what we're doing to ourselves, and we don't realize... And those examples for me, are very powerful examples of how to connect with people and communicate with them on a different level. So not just telling them something, not just cerebrally, but hit them here, hit them here, in different parts of their body. Resonate with different shockers, make someone feel sick to their stomach when they see something. Evoking these kinds of emotional responses from people often are the thing that will make them change."

Activism ｜noun [ U ]

the use of direct and noticeable action to achieve a result, usually a political or social one

Definition of activism from the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary & Thesaurus © Cambridge University Press)

paraphase→Achieving a political or social attention, use directly and noticeably action.

# data[].attributes.body
Activism is the passionate pursuit of social, political, and environmental change through collective action. Activists advocate for various causes like human rights, social justice, and animal welfare, using protests, campaigns, and lobbying. It drives progress, challenges inequalities, and raises marginalized voices. Despite facing resistance and risks, activism strives to create a more equitable and just world through collective determination.

Collaboration in activism involves working jointly, pooling resources, sharing ideas, and coordinating efforts to achieve common objectives. By collaborating, activists can leverage each other's strengths and expertise, reach a broader audience, and amplify the impact of their advocacy work.

Collaboration can take many forms, such as joint campaigns, coalition building, sharing information and resources, organizing events together, and supporting each other's initiatives. It is an essential strategy for addressing complex and systemic issues that require collective efforts and a diversity of perspectives.

Expressions such as “divided we fall, united we stand”, “there is power in unity” and “power in numbers” is proof that it is not mistaken when it says that “the future of activism is collaboration”.

There are three reasons that I decide to do the art activism of marine pollution

First, the research shows every year, there are eight million tons of plastic waste that end up in the oceans. And Marine protection is an urgent issue that every one of us should be aware of and active immediately.

Second, is my personal experience
Because I would say myself is the least environmentally friendly. People like me who are afraid of trouble have started to use eco-friendly cups and bags.
Maybe it's time for everyone to start focusing on the issue of marine pollution.

Third, how cute and innocent the sea wild is.

Because they cannot voice their protests, so we must speak up for them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You might have heard the oceans are full of plastic, but how full exactly? Around 8 million metric tonnes go into the oceans each year, according to the first rigorous global estimate published in Science today.

That's equivalent to 16 shopping bags full of plastic for every metre of coastline (excluding Antarctica). By 2025 we will be putting enough plastic in the ocean (on our most conservative estimates) to cover 5% of the earth's entire surface in cling film each year.

Around a third of this likely comes from China, and 10% from Indonesia. In fact all but one of the top 20 worst offenders are developing nations, largely due to fast-growing economies but poor waste management systems.

However, people in the United States - coming in at number 20 and producing less than 1% of global waste - produce more than 2.5 kg of plastic waste each day, more than twice the amount of people in China.

While the news for us, our marine wildlife, seabirds, and fisheries is not good, the research paves the way to improve global waste management and reduce plastic in the waste stream.

Lindsay Robinson/University of Georgia

Follow the plastic

An international team of experts analysed 192 countries bordering the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, and the Mediterranean and Black Seas. By examining the amount of waste produced per person per year in each country, the percentage of that waste that's plastic, and the percentage of that plastic waste that is mismanaged, the team worked out the likely worst offenders for marine plastic waste.

In 2010, 270 million tonnes of plastic was produced around the world. This translated to 275 million tonnes of plastic waste; 99.5 million tonnes of which was produced by the two billion people living within 50 km of a coastline. Because some durable items such as refrigerators produced in the past are also thrown away, we can find more waste than plastic produced at times.

Of that, somewhere between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes found its way into the ocean. Given how light plastic is, this translates to an unimaginably large volume of debris.

While plastic can make its way into oceans from land-locked countries via rivers, these were excluded in the study, meaning the results are likely a conservative estimate.

With our planet still 85 years away from "peak waste" - and with plastic production skyrocketing around the world - the amount of plastic waste getting into the oceans is likely to increase by an order of magnitude within the next decade.

Our recent survey of the Australian coastline found three-quarters of coastal rubbish is plastic, averaging more than 6 pieces per meter of coastline. Offshore, we found densities from a few thousand pieces of plastic to more than 40,000 pieces per square kilometre in the waters around the continent.

Where is the plastic going?

While we now have a rough figure for the amount of plastic rubbish in the world's oceans, we still know very little about where it all ends up (it isn't all in the infamous " Pacific Garbage Patch ").

Between 6,350 and 245,000 metric tons of plastic waste is estimated to float on the ocean's surface, which raises the all-important question: where does the rest of it end up?

Some, like the plastic microbeads found in many personal care products, ends up in the oceans and sediments where they can be ingested by bottom-dwelling creatures and filter-feeders.

It's unclear where the rest of the material is. It might be deposited on coastal margins, or maybe it breaks down into fragments so small we can't detect it, or maybe it is in the guts of marine wildlife.

CSIRO, Author provided

Wherever it ends up, plastic has enormous potential for destruction. Ghost nets and fishing debris snag and drown turtles, seals, and other marine wildlife. In some cases, these interactions have big impacts.

For instance, we estimate that around 10,000 turtles have been trapped by derelict nets in Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria region alone.

More than 690 marine species are known to interact with marine litter. Turtles mistake floating plastic for jellyfish, and globally around one-third of all turtles are estimated to have eaten plastic in some form. Likewise seabirds eat everything from plastic toys, nurdles and balloon shreds to foam, fishing floats and glow sticks.

While plastic is prized for its durability and inertness, it also acts as a chemical magnet for environmental pollutants such as metals, fertilisers, and persistent organic pollutants. These are adsorbed onto the plastic. When an animal eats the plastic "meal", these chemicals make their way into their tissues and - in the case of commercial fish species - can make it onto our dinner plates.

Plastic waste is the scourge of our oceans; killing our wildlife, polluting our beaches, and threatening our food security. But there are solutions - some of which are simple, and some a bit more challenging.

Solutions

If the top five plastic-polluting countries - China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Sri Lanka - managed to achieve a 50% improvement in their waste management - for example by investing in waste management infrastructure, the total global amount of mismanaged waste would be reduced by around a quarter.

Higher-income countries have equal responsibility to reduce the amount of waste produced per person through measures such as plastic recycling and reuse, and by shifting some of the responsibility for plastic waste back onto the producers.

The simplest and most effective solution might be to make the plastic worth money. Deposits on beverage containers for instance, have proven effective at reducing waste lost into the environment - because the containers, plastic and otherwise, are worth money people don't throw them away, or if they do others pick them up.

Extending this idea to a deposit on all plastics at the beginning of their lifecycle, as raw materials, would incentivize collection by formal waste managers where infrastructure is available, but also by consumers and entrepreneurs seeking income where it is not.

Before the plastic revolution, much of our waste was collected and burned. But the ubiquity, volume, and permanence of plastic waste demands better solutions.

Marine pollution caused by discarded plastic waste and marine litter has significantly increased in recent times.

According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, “By 2050, there could be more plastic in the ocean than fish.”
What an amazing stat.
maybe after a decade, our aquariums will be choked with plastic wildlife, and the next generation might not see alive marine animals.

Through such interaction, I hope to evoke everyone's awareness to the protection of the marine environment and reduce the use of plastic.

Like bring your own cup and bag / use your own lunch box and glass jars / use metal straws over plastic / create less waste / reduce reuse recycle / do sth green today

Reducing the presence of plastic in our oceans will not only allow us to save marine species and ecosystems but will improve our overall health and that of the environment in general.

What does activism mean to you?

Activism is about changing the status quo and standing up to speak out for the issues that we cares about.

Why is activism important?

Activism is important because every little thing matters, and society needs to improve with everyone's care and involvement.

Why is LGBTQ+ activism important?

It is important because we need to stand up for minority communities; their voices are equally valid, and respecting each other is the greatest contribution to society.

Are you an activist?

I consider myself an activist, even though I may not be out on the frontlines fighting. Social justice and my beliefs are ingrained within me. I will use my own abilities to bring about change and stand up for what is right.
