A few weeks ago, I was honored to do a presentation at Art Common\u2019s Creative Summit in North Bend, Washington<\/a>. The theme of that night\u2019s creative summit was \u201cart as a catalyst for change,\u201d and there were many speakers from all walks of the creative space discussing how interpret and guide social discourse in our creative lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the talk, I made a zine. Of course I did! The eight-page zine covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time, addressing how when you feel tense and scared, you can use art to express yourself. When those moments and emotions become too big, you can then gather in a community, and how those positive ideas that are fostered in a community can rally into larger movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To present the zine, I recreated it on poster-sized Post-it notes which I could flip while reading out loud to the audience. Afterwards, it was put on display for people to read through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a wonderful night, and I met tons of new people, also in the creative spaces on the Eastside of Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers to art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
