We are at a time fraught with turmoil on a global scale. Though we are feeling overwhelmed, we want to share with you the good, positive, and productive projects that are being created in hidden and often neglected corners of the world. Many inspiring and unifying projects are happening in the arts. As some in political power work to undermine hard-won democracy and cultural space, artists throughout the Americas are defiantly pushing back with bold music, dance, film, and visual arts.
