The Art of Revolution: Gender and Resistance

In the last week of May 2024, élan interculturel organised the Take pART! workshop titled The Art of Revolution: Gender and Resistance in Paris. Linking intimacy and politics, the workshop invited young people identifying as queer to explore how artivism tools can transform anger into empowerment for marginalised gender identities, while giving them the chance to communicate their experiences to others. The workshop focused on two primary art forms: visual mediums—including zines, stickers, placards, flyers—and podcasts. These creative approaches allowed participants to express their identities and perspectives through impactful storytelling. Lou Dvina and Seungjoo Bae's generous collaboration further enriched the event—their expertise guided participants in their exploration of artivism.
