Climate crisis and political turmoil are changing life as we know it, and the future we thought we had—the future we’ve been preparing for—is hanging in the balance, unlikely to ever become reality. In times of uncertainty, we must make room for grieving, mourning a paradise lost, and acquiescing, however brief, into darkness. But we must also carry on, celebrate life, and look for the light wherever we can find it. For many of us, art is the space where this light finds a home. Through art, we find the courage to persist, transform, and above all, create a new future for ourselves and our world.

Maybe what we’ve lost wasn’t paradise, after all.
