Abstract
The article presented below addresses the presence of design, in its intersection with art and technology, in activist actions disseminated and organized through digital social media during the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. To this, four contemporary works of cyberactivism and art-activism in digital social media will be presented and analyzed to obtain a more in-depth insight into how these cases show design, as well as the respective strategies of action in this period, marked by political crises, hyperconnectivity in networks, and social distancing.
