How can artists strengthen the connections and care that foster community in these challenging times of environmental and political crisis? As we encounter individuals and institutions self-censoring in an effort to be “safe,” we come together to hold and celebrate art that is joyous, openly activist, and politically explicit. This project offers the empathetic space of art to encourage practices of artivism and craftivism and to support artists who facilitate community-building. As artists, we can join together to create pathways away from isolation and anchor us in resilient communities to face the challenges ahead.
