The #WCIW comes at a crucial moment this year admist the COVID-19 pandemic.

But amidst these challenges, artivism has been used to advocate for social justice and human rights.

How well do you know real changemakers in the society??

Meet @Javan_thepoet, whose artivism work
revolves around advocacy against police brutality, rampant social injustice and human rights violation.

"My advocacy efforts are centred on community organising of masses to know their rights, thus articulating them well and being each other’s keeper and advocate."

I am not even supposed to talk about how hard I have worked and how hard I work to make poetry work for me.

~ @mufasapoet

#WCIW

I am definitely not supposed to speak about politics, as if I can speak about what we go through and not talk about why we go through what we go through.

I am not supposed to allow my writing to speak about what my unemployed uncle goes through to feed and school his children.

~ @mufasapoet

#WCIW

I'm not supposed to tell you that every time I'm at the shop and the price of everything is nothing I used to know, I imagine the look on my uncle's face every time he is at the shop.

I'm supposed to be comfortable with a system that is here to enrich the rich now and tell the poor our GDP is growing; we are not where we were.

#WCIW

See, that, will make me sound anti-government, that's something a poet is not supposed to be.

I am supposed to cheer each time the president says we will deal with anyone who incites violence or hatred then watch the system deal with no one.
