Lindsay reflects on the recent art-as-resistance movement, stating, "It was good in that we all needed to find joy in some darkness, and we all needed to find a way out, shake it off, be entertained." He emphasizes that while these artistic expressions were necessary, they served more as a soothing balm than as effective tools of resistance against political challenges.
Maddy Clifford highlights the disillusionment in today’s activism, noting, "We’re back where we started in 2016...people are feeling frustrated with the Democratic party, and with the two-party system as a whole, especially in light of recent events." This reflects a growing sentiment among activists about the limitations of traditional political structures.
Hennessy, a gun violence survivor, states, "My work can be seen as responding to the death machine that is our country." She advocates for artists to be more courageous and articulate, urging them that "the opportunity is to be more brave, more unapologetic and articulate in knowing what we know."
