"When used by activists, the phrase “stepping off the curb” refers
to the moment that one leaves the sidewalk and enters the street to
join a protest, but in a broader sense it means making the step from
passive indifference into active engagement".
Just as the phrase says "stepping off the curb" for me it refers to the first step to join activism and do something different from a daily routine. As the phrase says, instead of following the same road all the time, there is a part when one deviates and decides to be part of what is different.
"We will be the ones to find and reveal The Truth to others".
The only way to tell the truth above all depends on us as a community and not turn a deaf ear and try to hide the truth from everyone to live in the ignorance, but rather open everyone's eyes and unite, the only way to achieve this is by telling the truth and making a change.
What is art activism?
For me it's a creative way to challenge the social and political norms and a way to try to inspire the people to take action against these problems that happens in the world everyday, whether it be wit a painting, posters, music, or even a performance.
In this image, two famous rappers in Senegal decided to open a YouTube channel using their fame and talent to give a message to young audience by sharing news in a creative way, nothing more, and nothing less than rapping and then they managed to become so well-known in several countries.
