I am beyond proud to see something I have envisioned for years come to light! Being an art and design researcher and scholar you have to search so many libraries to get what you need. So why not design a library with its sole purpose to house a collection of books and literary works for Artivists [artists who are activists]? So in 2025, we will open The Artivism Library Collection® in DC! Until it arrives, we have collaborated with Eaton Hotel to deliver a popup library experience from now until March 31, 2024. 170+ rare, banned, and curated books are here for you. This is not a lending library, as these books will move to the permanent home for The Artivism Library Collection® in 2025.
