Pairing social justice with art, the social he(art) blog acts as a forum featuring artists of varying mediums of visual art (painting, photography, design, etc.) who support social justice. Either weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, social he(art) will feature a new artist who approaches their work with a heart for story. social he(art) seeks to provide an outlet for creative minds to meld, highlighting talented artists for their own publicity while working to further numerous causes. In addition, social he(art) will feature a page announcing activist-minded events around the world in order to further the interests of human rights organizations and non-profits, spreading word to you, the public, and asking your attendance. Featured artists and organizations are always welcome and encouraged to participate in passing this information along to me.

My name is Brandi. I started this blog because, simply, I’m an artist and I’m passionate about social justice. I also think art has the capacity to change lives. Strangely enough, I keep running into other artists who feel the same way. Instead of hoping to magically hear about artists or events related to activism, I wanted to have one place where it could all be found, and use it as a resource to share with others. I just hope you’re inspired as much by what you find here as I am.

Thank you to all of those who continue to push against hatred with love, and against the dark with beauty, hope and light.

Oh, and if you’re interested in the design of this WordPress theme, I handled the front-end design work. You can find more of my freelance design if you’re interested in hiring me at The Window Room. The masterminds behind the theme and coding are Greg Althoff of BLK+MTN Studio and the people over at Pro Blog Design. Give them a shout; they do great work.
