The farewell to The Obamas, the inauguration of the “new guy” (side eye) and the protest marches across the country made this past weekend pretty intense.
The recent political landscape serves as a backdrop that’s ripe for activism – it has me thinking a lot about art as a form of protest. As I watch marchers across the country (and around the globe), I realize that those who get the most media coverage are often those with the most colorful, creative, provocative signs or t-shirts. In essence; art amplifies messages.
I feel proud to work in a creative field where I have the ability to challenge the status quo, provoke conversations and spark change. This week I am inspired to do all of that…and then some.
What’s your plan for the week?
Monday Motivation is a quick mood board that I make to kick-start my work week. You can check out what “motivated” me in past weeks here.
