Visual communication is fundamental to the Boom experience and so ARTivists are invited to submit their activism-inspired works of art for display at the Boom Festival this year.

There exists in the mass media a complex web of disinformation communicated in the most subliminal form. ARTivists have therefore become the historians of the future as they document the truth behind the headlines, raise the consciousness vibration and witness the transformation taking place in our world.

So a picture is not just worth a thousand words, but a thousand actions and art has become a powerful tool for expressing activist dissent and for communicating information that impacts us all.

Mass demonstrations are synchronising with the 2012 global shift in consciousness as depicted by the Maya. The time therefore, is NOW, as ARTivism becomes a crucial component of this year’s Boom Art Program.

So whether your art depicts the farce of democracy, reality of corporate ownership, injustice of war, marginalisation, immigration, environmental damage, police brutality, border control or any other issue or powerful campaign that communicates the message hard and clear: we want to hear from you.

NB: Feel free to experiment with either traditional or technological mediums; canvass, digital, print, installation, video, animation - it’s up to you!

Please send all entries to: media@boomfestival.org by 28th June 2012.

Big BOOM!

All the best for this festival! Its hard to be sustainable with events of this size but the boom organizers sure seem to be trying hard

It's a shame I cannot make it to the festival, I'd love to meet like minded people. All the best with it and I'll make sure to come the next edition.

Thank you for your support guys, it goes without saying that it is also the spirit of the global tribe that makes Boom what it is. :-)

This year we'll be taking 25 percent of the festival off grid and hope this will provide some positive solutions/inspiration for living independently of the matrix.

We hope that you are able to join us for this transformational gathering under the August full moon - yet even if you cannot make it - we hope to celebrate and interact with you at the next edition. :-)

So - sixty days to go - are you ready? ;-) Read all about it right here: http://boomfestival.org/...ty-days-until-take-off/
