Details:
Firestarters are intersectional feminist artists (18-25) who are igniting sparks by envisioning new ways of thinking around racial, climate, disability and gender/LGBTQ+ justice, health equity, outdated and oppressive systems, bridging divides, and transforming the way the work together.
This award honors artists who are taking risks in artmaking, working towards social justice, developing an intersectional feminist voice, and bringing new insights into art for social change.
A Firestarter shows potential in:
- creating compelling art, including taking risks in developing new work
- engaging with social justice movements or their communities (This could be a geographic community in a specific neighborhood, county or region in KY, or a community based on interests, identity or values.)
- Acting as change agents in their own communities.
- Developing their feminist voice by questioning norms and imagining new ways to create art for social change
The Firestarter Award honors a young feminist social change artist for their outstanding ability to inspire others to make a difference!
