WHAT IS RESILIENT?

What is happening right now is not new. Racism is not new. Police brutality is not new. Sexism is not new. Homophobia is now new...

​

However, as familiar as these issues are, it does not make them any less easier to deal with and witness.

​

On top of signing petitions, donating, and having conversations with loved ones, there was more I could be doing.

​

As a storyteller and filmmaker, I turned to the creative arts.

​

There is a real power art can wield. Art is something we digest every day. Whether through movies, music, murals, books, and so many other forms, art has a prevalent role in our society. 

​

Art might not physically pass a bill or law, but it can contribute to the conversation and spark change. Art can craft a beautiful catalyst for change.

​

With that in mind, I wanted to create a space where creatives can come together.

​

Resilient is a space for creatives to collaborate and highlight works of art regarding systemic issues such as racism, privilege, homophobia, and sexism.

​

However, this space is not just to be used for explicitly political or social works of art. This site is also to shine a light on artists who are typically disregarded or misrepresented in the mainstream. This space is for creatives who by simply expressing themselves and being who they are challenge social norms.

​

I believe art activism can be presented in a variety of forms - direct and indirect.

​

So, please use this space to check out artists and to reach out to other creatives to collaborate on projects.

​

Let us create a community of artists fighting for a better future: one more inclusive and open.
