These \u201cutopian\u201d visions are useful for setting pragmatic goals and concrete objectives. They orient our direction so we don\u2019t get lost. They inspire us. They sustain us. And they attract others to work with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Articulating our dreams isn&#8217;t easy. Through sound, image, and movement, artistic activism can conjure up a vision of what could be and communicate it to others. Art gives us the vision.
