Abstract

Creative activism is a tool used to transmit a message and is dependent on creativity and innovation. Digital technologies have allowed individuals to have a visual presence and broaden the reach of the information being communicated. Artistic practices that are geared towards social and political changes and that are not purely about affect but created with an intention to effect, fall under the creative activism umbrella. As part of the Coventry University Collaborative Research and Outreach Projects partnered with the University of Warwick partnership scheme , Urban Villages: the Roma's Digital Scrapbook (2020) brought together Roma and non-Roma to co-create a short film and a digital scrapbook exhibition that focuses on the experiences, identity and voices of the Roma people, told by the Roma people who live in the city of Coventry, UK. The film was shared with relevant stakeholders and the wider community to foster closer links and challenge stereotypes.
