Calling Arkansas creatives! Take part in FallOfFreedom.com on Nov 21 and 22. Art matters, courage is contagious. How to participate: 1. Create or identify a work of resistance by an Arkansan or Arkansas connected artist. 2. Send a link to the work to FOF.ARroundup@gmail.com or share link on social media with #FallOfFreedom and #ARroundup. We’ll post to the LinkTree. 3. Check out the full roundup on Sunday, November 23, at https://linktr.ee/FOF.ARroundup 4. Spread the word! Be inspired! This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge — even wisdom. Like art. - Toni Morrison
