Two quotes from chapters 2 and 3 

Chapter 2: "We are moved to become involved with politics for what are often non-rational, emotional, and personal reasons. We make sense of our world through things like images, sounds and narrative as much, if not more, than we do through facts and figures." 

Chapter 3: "When art and culture are integral parts of our activism, we can do the work and change the world, while having more fun than the other side

Chapter 2 Quote:

This quote highlights a crucial aspect of activism its emotional and personal roots. While facts and statistics are important, people are often moved to action by stories, imagery, and experiences that resonate on a deeper level. This reminds me that activism isn’t just about presenting logical arguments it’s about engaging people in ways that feel real and meaningful to them. Artistic activism has the power to bridge this gap, using emotion and narrative to inspire change in ways that raw data alone cannot.

Chapter 3 Quote:

I love this perspective on activism because it challenges the idea that fighting for change has to be exhausting or purely serious. Integrating art and culture into activism makes the work more engaging, creative, and even joyful. When activism is infused with creativity, it becomes more sustainable and attracts more people because it feels less like a chore and more like a movement worth being part of. This quote reinforces the idea that activism isn’t just about struggle it can also be about joy, imagination, and community.
