Work of the Week~ Resist
Art has ALWAYS been an act of resistance~
Resistance against forgetting~
Against silence~
Against conformity~
Against the idea that beauty, truth, or humanity should be sacrificed for convenience~
Resistance can be loud~
Other times~ it's quiet.
And occasionally it's~
Painting anyway
Writing anyway
Creating anyway, creating inspite of~
Every artist eventually chooses what they're willing to resist~ and what they're willing to stand for~ Throughout history, artists have resisted with paint, clay, ink, thread, music, photography, and film~ not always by fighting against something, but by choosing to create something worth preserving.
What does resistance mean in your creative practice?
