Art as Resistance Is Getting Louder (And I’m Seeing It Everywhere)— Art as resistance isn’t quiet anymore — it’s stitched, yarnbombed, quilted, and shared, turning creativity into good trouble you can’t unsee. Once you start noticing craftivism, you see it everywhere.

Dreamspace Lantern for 2/2/2026: Embrace Resistance: Every Act Matters
The recent "Resistance Week" highlights the silent yet impactful efforts of disabled activists who provided mutual aid during winter storms, addressing food insecurity and unemployment disparities. It emphasizes the importance of accessible resources and diverse forms of resistance, encouraging collective action and awareness of barriers faced by disabled communities. Every act, big or small, contributes to transformative change.https://dreamspacestudio.net/dreamspace-lantern-for-2-2-2026-embrace-resistance-every-act-matters/

You cannot rely on Trump. You cannot outsource morality.
A political poem calling out blind reliance, transactional power, and the danger of mistaking deals for values.

CW: U.S. Politics, art as resistance
Art as resistance.
Excellent piece; remember, we are seeing frogs (and other inflatable costumes) every where in the U.S. and in many other places around the globe, because one guy wearing that stood up to the fascists on the ground in Portland.

I’ll be offline tomorrow.
If any of you want to carry the torch of Afternoon Art Critic—do it.
Snap a photo. Write a few words.
Tell us what it means.This project was never mine.
It’s ours.
Like the murals. Like the masks. Like the movement.✊🏽🎨🖋

@rootsandcalluses 💚💛♥️💜🧡
That sounds like a brilliant solarpunk art piece!!!
If I may be so bold, would you consider a little experiment? A little play for your child self who may not have been nurtured in artistic expression as helpfully as might have been?
You might try getting a child or student newsprint type pad of paper, and a box of crayons. Draw and color your meadow and lawn. Just for fun. Just play.
It doesn't have to be "good" by any "standards".
Your insights are bang on. That image is powerful. That drawing could be a very effective message.

You know what I love?
Watch nationalism crawl back—just over a century after WWI, and a few decades after the Wall fell.
Isn’t it fun? So much winning... so much déjà vu.But here’s Guernica—not just art, but a scream.
It reminds us exactly what nationalism looks like when it turns bloody.#AntiNationalism #Guernica #ArtAsResistance #HistoryRepeats

“Being against things and protesting is not enough for us artists, we create things.”
– Anna Krenz, #DNL35, June 2025At Shadows of Illiberalism, Anna reminded us that resistance through art goes beyond critique. It's about building, imagining, and creating new futures.
#AnnaKrenz #ShadowsOfIlliberalism #DisruptionNetworkLab #ArtAsResistance #DNL35 #CreateToResist -
The Global Scream by Anna Krenz (Artist, Architect and Activist, Founder of Dziewuchy Berlin) is a collective protest performance where participants join in a unified scream to release pain, grief, and rage—especially against patriarchal violence and oppression.
This powerful act transforms silence into solidarity, echoing across borders and generations.

They called it “burnout.”
But what I lived was extraction—ritual, repeated, institutional.
My energy was consumed. My vision was drained. And when the ashes remained,
they blamed me for not glowing anymore.
This is not fatigue. This is fallout.
And I am not done. I’m reconstituting the flame.#EntrepreneurialPrecarity

What a marvel!
Let’s hope no semiologist gets hurt reading this piece :)Art is becoming increasingly essential in asserting our cultural autonomy against a technological determinism that, more often than not, exists solely in the minds of those who take the Gartner Hype Cycle as gospel and the marketing of major consulting firms as sacred writ.
The space of critique is our salvation.
The future is a space for self-determination.[Link to article: Meet the Artist Using Ritual Magic to Trap Self-Driving Cars – Vice]

The Barca Effect: Observations From Experience That Have Kept Us Safe In An Increasingly Chaotic World
Hi, everyone. I’ve been seeing a LOT of people drawing parallels to Hitler and the Weimar Republic with what’s going on in the US and the world currently, and I want to offer some practical suggestions on how to not comply in advance that have kept my system and others safe for years.
A bit of background: I come from old money, am an ex Mormon, and taught history as an academic tutor for years. Over the course of this stretch of time, I saw and learned lot.
One of the biggest things I observed that I’m seeing play out now is from far, far further back in history than Hitler – the story of Hannibal Barca of Carthage.
Hannibal Barca knew that Rome, his greatest foe, would expect an attack by sea. Rome is situated only a short distance from the coast, and Carthage was predominantly a maritime power. So Rome expected Carthage to attack by sea. Hannibal knew this, and he took the long way, taking an army overland, over the Alps,a route so goddamned insane that nobody believed he would ever pull it off. People saw him coming for months, but because his methods were so implausible, by the time he cleared the Alps, it was too late, and he was terrorizing Italy for the next decade.
I call this anti-orthodox methodology “the Barca Effect”. It relies heavily on people firmly believing you’re insane or your methods are impossible until it’s too late to effectively stop you. It takes a very long time to effectively set up, but if you do it right, it’s devastating.
Trump is the master of the Barca Effect, if you look at everything he’s done.
My mother, Hera, was also the master of the Barca Effect, which is I know such tactics exist on a personal level, and how to effectively counter them.
A plan like Trump’s and my mother’s relies heavily on most people either turning a blind eye to it, complying with it, or not believing it in time. If you notice, he’s been forced to change course multiple times as information has been leaked and people have been banding together to keep each other safe. Pushing back and sharing information is an effective way to counter such tactics, but an even more effective way to counter it is to, in my experience, push back harder by being more batshit.
Much of a good Barca Effect plan relies on people ignoring the warning signs of the plan until it’s too late. So make yourself and your community LOUD. If you know what’s going on, don’t shut up about it, travel in numbers. Make people uncomfortable. Be fucking weird. If ICE shows up, refuse them entry unless they can PROVE they have papers signed by a fucking judge. Shout “LA MIGRA” or “ICE IS HERE” in ANY LANGUAGE YOU KNOW. Be a fucking threat to everything they hold dear. Laugh at fascists and make them scared again. Share your moments of joy. Keep making art. Form community, feel your emotions, document the shit out of them loudly. Don’t snitch. Bombard tip lines with memes. Make memes. The sillier the better.
This is why my system and I mostly shitpost and share cat photos, honestly.
Because being scared, hopeless, and divided is what this admin WANTS.
And if someone makes you remotely uncomfortable, learn to make them MORE uncomfortable. It’s saved my life many a time.
Welcome to the inconvenience store, bitches. I’m your overworked clerk. What can I get ya?
Stay crotchety, stay hopeful.

When the ancient void kitty needs cuddles, it’s time for photos, I suppose.
He’s such a good baby.
