“I believe in the possibility of art being disruptive and trying to break boundaries and resist prior tendencies and norms of society.” -Graciela Carnevale
Society can get complacent; that’s why writers are here to mix things up. We get to apply our skill set, natural or otherwise, to the consistent settling of society. Sometimes the world needs that one last push to remember its power or simply to see how far we’ve come in a good way.
Writers get to be the guardrails that steer humans away from passivity.
We do this by writing new ideas, shedding light on hidden evils, or by merely showing up to the table with our ink stains. For that reason, it can feel like there’s no real place for us in the world; on the contrary, this is our world, our place, our canvas. And that, my fellow artists, is a gift but only if you’re willing to accept it.
