Artivist.Media operates at the intersection of art and activism, with a standing commitment to human rights — specifically the Universal Declaration’s provisions on freedom of thought and conscience (Article 18), the right to an adequate standard of living (Article 25), and the right to education (Article 26). These are treated here as foundational to democratic participation, not aspirational. Coverage centers on the southern U.S./Mexico border, on Kumeyaay land, where policy meets people.
