One artist who has been at the forefront of this movement is Kara Walker. Her provocative works often explore themes of race and gender, challenging viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about our society's past and present. In her 2014 installation "A Subtlety," for example, Walker created a massive sculpture of a sphinx-like figure, coated in sugar, that served as a commentary on the history of slavery and its ongoing impact on contemporary society.

Another artist who has been using her work to address issues of social justice is Tatyana Fazlalizadeh. Her "Stop Telling Women to Smile" project, which began in 2012, features a series of striking street art portraits of women accompanied by messages aimed at combatting street harassment and gender-based violence. By placing her work in public spaces, Fazlalizadeh is helping to raise awareness about these important issues and spark important conversations.
