background

i'm [insert name] and this is my manifesto. i am interested in creating a space where art can be recognized as significant, particularly as a form of activism. as a way to rethink identity and freedoms, we want to create an outlet for artistic expression of any kind, unstructured and unhindered. because freedoms and identity(s) are often interconnected,while also inconsistent and dynamic, we encourage the exploration of both. we recognize the legitimacy of anything created by anyone, yet reserve the ability to be exclusive. i believe that all forms of art, whether written or otherwise, can be significant as forms of activism, facilitating the expression and communication of shared emotions. although everyone's experiences are unique to their particular self, i believe that de-individualizing the feelings created by our unique experiences is important. we aim to re-conceptualize the possibilities of art as a powerful form of activism and expression, unlimited by form and critique. as a feminist, i wish to productively incorporate my politics, while at the same time accepting others with which i disagree.
