Art and Resistance
The arts shape cultural and political narratives, challenge dominant regimes, bring joy and comfort, shape our lives. Late-night book writing, a platform for once-unheard voices of slaves, a re-envisioning of what it means to be a dancer—in all of these ways and many more, the arts have the power to change hearts and minds. To embolden new voices. To bring about peace and to shine a light on tumult. To reflect. To resist.
