In this presentation, artist and activist Keiko Sono will look at different genres of art such as Social Practice Art, Community Art, Political Arts and connect how UBI advocacy could fit into these frameworks. The goal is to open up possibilities for deeper expression of advocacy, outreach to the general public, access to funding, and more.
