Creative Power in a Combative World
In a world that keeps urging us to fight, protest, and push back, this topic offers another possibility:
To pause.
To imagine.
To create.
The arts have always slipped past the gates, carrying ambiguity, surprise, beauty, and contradiction—qualities rigid ideologies cannot hold. But we can.
I invite your thoughts on how creative expression offers power that doesn’t need permission, resistance that doesn’t require rage, and transformation that doesn't ask us to go to war.
- What does it look like to activate the arts when we’re weary of confrontation?
- Which artists are offering new pathways beyond polarization?
- How might imagination itself be our most strategic form of dissent?
Whether you’re a seasoned provocateur or a quiet dreamer, this is your place to speak, listen and share.
Tell me what you believe about the politics of surprise, the elegance of ambiguity and the gentle revolution of refusing to fight in the expected ways.
