Storytelling Workshops
The Artivist Network teaches simple street-theater techniques that provide low-cost and low-tech tools to local activists to communicate around any subject. The creation of storytelling performances not only gives activist a powerful communication tool, but also helps groups to refine and condense their own story to better meet their campaign objectives.

Theatre of the Oppressed
Extending beyond the usual frontiers of the theatre, the theatre of the oppressed mainly focuses on the involvement of the public through their direct participation in the public performances/actions. The workshop focuses on introducing forum theatre, invisible theatre, newspaper theatre, and other tactics of TO in order to discover the best tactic for each collective action.
#Meme Workshops
In collaboration with Gastivists, we offer both analogue and digital meme workshops for providing rapid-response commentary about emerging political situations and “trending topics” as a way to introduce new transformative perspectives into dominant
discourses. Meme workshops are designed and facilitated to encourage participants to experiment with different forms and techniques such as gifs, 60-second interviews, collages, illustrations and other possible forms that mix humour, pop references, and radical politics. As an outcome, we aim to see these ideas being picked up, replicated, and shared in both online and offline communities.
