How to Use Art as a Defiant Act of Revolution TL; Dr: In the face of hardships, tragedy, loss, and sorrow, sometimes the only way forward is to commit to using art as a defiant act of revolution by creating and experiencing beautiful things. In a world so full of strife, conflict, and opposition, on personal, systemic, and global levels, finding one’s role in bringing about change and hope can feel challenging. At least for me, it is, and I'm not naive to the pain of life. Over the past decade, I’ve experienced my fair share of personal hardships while simultaneously deepening my awareness of systemic oppression and witnessing heart-breaking global conflicts. Naturally, I’ve felt overwhelmed and unsure of the impact I can make in these situations. Yet, one thing has remained constant for me. Time and time again, I’ve turned to art to soothe my aching soul. Sometimes I've shared my art with others in the hopes that they might find similar healing balms in my artistic offerings. The response has been remarkable- moving some to tears, others to share my work within their communities, and still others to feel less alone in their plight. Through these experiences and from what I've witnessed as a piano teacher, I’ve come to believe that bringing beauty into the world through art is one way we can take action against all that feels wrong with the world.
