A frequently asked question I receive during panels, workshops, and in my DMs is how does one *start* making art for social change? In this video, I’ll share some principles I utilize to ground myself in this practice and some big questions to ask yourself before you start.
I also bring in a few artist friends to share their wisdom and advice, including William Estrada, Olly Costello, Chi Nwosu, and Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.
