Global Artivism

– a fiscally sponsored project of Res Publica US Inc.

Global Artivism is a Global Majority-led movement that engages the full power of arts and culture to work toward a just world on a safe planet.

​

We are led by those most affected by injustice, particularly from the Global South, ensuring the movement reflects the cultural and demographic reality of the world. We understand art as praxis — an active force capable of mobilizing people, shifting narratives, and reshaping systems. Our cultural work is inseparable from struggles for justice, ecological integrity, and collective liberation.

​

The movement connects artists, cultural workers, and activists across regions, building the infrastructure, relationships, and resources for Artivism to lead lasting change.

Core Principles & Structure

These principles shape how the movement works, how decisions are made, and what is asked of those who join.

• Global Majority Leadership and South–South Solidarity.
• Distributed Power and Fluid Leadership.
• Artists at the Center, Culture as Strategy.
• Intersectional and Community-Centered.
• Trust Before Scale.
• Emergence as Method.
• Transparency and Accountability.
   

Global Artivism is governed by a Global Council representing artists, activists, and movement builders from across regions. The Movement Secretariat is the coordination team that supports the Council operationally.

The Engagement

Global Artivism is contracting an experienced operations professional to deliver project coordination and workflow management across the Movement Secretariat. The contractor will maintain operational systems, track deliverables, manage contract processes, and ensure coordination runs consistently across a distributed global team. This engagement carries meaningful operational ownership and requires someone who takes initiative and finds satisfaction in making complex systems work.
 

This is an independent contractor engagement managed through Global Artivism’s fiscal sponsorship structure with Res Publica US Inc. The contractor sets their own working hours and methods, may provide services to other clients, and is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and any local registrations or compliance requirements in their country of residence.

Coordination Relationships

• The contractor will coordinate primarily with the Operations Director, and will work alongside the Admin Coordinator, Governance Lead, Fiscal Sponsor, external contractors, and all Movement Secretariat members on agreed deliverables.
• Coordination relationships do not constitute supervisory authority. Decision-making at Global Artivism is distributed through governance structures, committees, and collaborative processes.

Compensation & Work Arrangement

• Monthly contractor fee: USD $2,500 to $3,500/month, paid upon receipt of monthly invoices. 
• Payment terms and currency arrangements will be confirmed in the contractor agreement. All figures are monthly contractor fees, not employment salaries. This is an independent contractor engagement managed through Global Artivism’s fiscal sponsorship structure.
