THE MISSION OF REVOLVE LGBTQIA PRIDE CREATIVE ARTS & FILM FEST
REVOLVE RECOGNIZES THAT "LGBTQIA Artists have always played a vital role in social movements, whether capturing the soul of a moment through song, documenting global change and the people behind it through film, theater, poetry, literature, dance or photography, or imagining a new world through a painting or new media. Artivists use their creative genius to emotionally communicate, creatively educate, and ultimately motivate people around the globe with their provocative ideas about how the world could, and should, be."
REVOLVE HONORS LGBTQIA ARTIVISTS by providing a wider platform for individual artistic social change agents and positive opportunities for collective culling of each of our energies to make a deeper socio-political impact.
REVOLVE. activating I AM AN ARTIVIST = ARTIST + ACTIVIST through r/evolutionary art.
