Artivism involves using art as a tool to not only comment on needed societal changes but also to inform others on these pressing issues and inspire them to take action. An example of an artivist is Kusama who held art happenings where she ministered over the first weddings between gay men in the USA. Goldsworthy is another artist who uses eco art that inspires mindfulness of our natural surroundings (healing art) but crosses over into artivism in that it serves as a catalyst for nature preservation.
