An Issue Driven Artist uses art as a tool to ignite conversations (see: 📝Conversation Generating Art) on different social issues.
They co-create collaboratively with various 📝Stakeholders to ensure that the resulting artworks are in service of resolving the issue while minimizing the risks of negative 📝Unintended Consequences.
The artist should also recognize the importance of resolving issues without violating planetary and social boundaries (see: 📝Doughnut Economics ).
Origin:
📝Von Wong coined the term Issue Driven Artist on Nov 14, 2021, during 📝Experience House Morocco. One of the attendants, 📝Yasmine El Baggari described herself as a “Mission-Driven Entrepreneur,” but the terminology felt too broad. A mission alone is not necessarily benevolent or informed, so a new term was coined.
