Writers, musicians, visual artists, architects, actors and other creators are now living in a world that wants to steal from us, artificially recreate us, and/or politically silence our voice. This is why we must coalesce. Join us. Res Creativa rescreativa.org Creativity is its own republic.

Through Zoom calls and other feedback platforms, next week Res Creativa founders begin reimagining civic practices for a more deliberative and healthier democracy. There is still time for you to share your creative intelligence with this collective. rescreativa.org
Artists accelerate cultural access when they embed their practice in civic and community spaces, not just exclusive galleries or theaters. Treating public arenas as a primary canvas turns everyday civic life into shared culture. Creativity is its own republic. rescreativa.org #democracy #artists
Creative people possess ways of seeing, questioning, connecting, and envisioning that civic life needs. That's why 100 interdisciplinary artists and arts enthusiasts—from seven countries and 26 U.S. states—have come together to explore how creativity can help mend democracy. rescreativa.org
Among the questions Res Creativa founders are exploring: "By 2031, what new forms of belonging, representation, or civic trust have emerged because cultural and language diversity became a public norm?" rescreativa.org #artists#creativeintelligence#civiclife#democracy#rescreativa
What happens when writers, musicians, actors, dancers, filmmakers, visual artists, designers, storytellers, and other culture-makers deliberate and imagine a healthier democracy? Res Creativa is about to find out. open.substack.com/pub/randallw...
By 2031, what has changed because creative practitioners were able to create freely, boldly, and without fear, and how did that strengthen democratic life? rescreativa.org
Threads accounts, with thousands of followers, are being suspended at an increasingly rapid rate. This is not a bug. It's Meta's feature. Many are now turning to Bluesky and other platforms.
Artists from different disciplines, generations, communities, and traditions are coming together. We do so not because we are identical, but because we recognize that what has been fractured in our civic life can be repaired through imagination, relationship, and shared purpose. rescreativa.org
