SXSW 2021
The 21st Century Creative
Description:
As artists, we are both shaped by the world around us and have a profound ability to influence culture in return. Would the works of Hemmingway be recognizable to us if he hadn’t experienced the Spanish Civil War? What would Freida Kahlo’s work have been if she hadn’t experienced the rise of communism? In 2021, creative people have a responsibility to stay awake, stay connected, and use our perspective on world events to shine a light on the truth about this time that the media has failed to consistently record.
