(Artist      +         Activist)

4. Aritivist: (noun) one who dwells in the joint where activism and art meet. Her activism is through art and her art is often geared towards healing and social change. 

addendum: it is equally important for the artivist to heal herself through her art

I’ve been an artivist for a long time. Swinging from one side of the pendulum to the next. I would like to swing back to the art side a bit more right now. Art for me. Healing self. Dealing with my own woundom.
