“Part of it is recognizing that art doesn’t necessarily have to be approximately the final visual output. Art is the process,art is a part of the solution. Art can become a way of approaching and addressing social issues. One of the ways we’ve done that through Artivists StL under the leadership of Elizabeth Vega is by making art for protests and for marches. Thinking approximately the Mirrored Casket: showing a casket made of mirrors to police officers is something that changes the narrative - it flips the paradigm.”De Andrea Nichols: founder and creative director at Civic Creatives, community engagement manager at modern Art Museum St. Louis, and 2016 Saint Louis Visionary Awards honoree
