The week in art as resistance

Happy Friday! 

This newsletter is all about making art as resistance, providing inspiration, ideas, and more.

In this issue: The trick of AI, pop-up truths, and more ⚡️

Is AI a smokescreen?

As creatives lament and fear AI as something that will replace us, The Autistic Burnout gives us a really thoughtful idea: what if AI is just an excuse for capitalism to do its thing?

Pop-up Truth

Sometimes the strongest protest is the truth. And in DC and other cities, the Trump and Epstein pop-up exhibit is showcasing the impact behind the files, with print-outs, art, and timelines.

I'm reading: Old magazines. I'm sorting through massive piles I've kept of Entertainment Weekly and Bust magazines from 1998 on!

I'm watching: The Pitt. I finally gave in to the hype… and burned through two seasons in about a week.

I'm listening to: Queer the Music podcast. Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters talks to queer musicians about iconic songs, like Perfume Genius, John Cameron Mitchell, and Pet Shop Boys.

I'm sharing:

• VJay Bombs hits DC
• Why is it so hard to be still? 
• Free zines, posters, and more to print and paper your community
• The first art parade in LA
