In times of collapse, creation is an act of defiance.
Fascism thrives on fear, control, and erasure. It tells us that there is only one right way to be, to live, to belong. It flattens difference and silences dissent. But when we create—when we write, dance, paint, sing, imagine—we refuse that erasure. We make space for complexity, beauty, memory, and truth. We remind the world, and ourselves, that we are still here.
Creation keeps us human. It connects us to each other across language, lineage, and border. It interrupts the machinery of domination with stories, images, and movements that refuse to conform. It awakens our capacity to feel, to hope, and to dream beyond what we are told is possible.
So we keep creating—not in spite of the world we’re in, but because of it.
