Abstract	In 2005, digital media artist/activist Liv Gjestvang founded a nonprofit organization, Youth Video OUTreach (YVO), to teach lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ) youth skills to create a documentary about their lives that could serve as a centerpiece for outreach and advocacy efforts by/for LGBTQ youth. While adult-initiated, the youths primarily drove the organization's direction, goals, and outcomes. Youth Video OUTreach has combined key dimensions of "critical civic praxis" with "artivism," primarily in out-of-school contexts, as strategies to create and capitalize on community resources and effect positive community change. Combining two concepts--Ginwright and Cammarota's (2007) "critical civic praxis" and Sandoval and Latorre's (2008) "artivism"--this article provides a framework for constructing collective, creative projects that challenge sociocultural inequities. In particular, marginalized youth have found artivism a powerful tactic for reaching broader audiences with narratives, experiences, and perspectives that contradict and complicate dominant ones.
