Powerful art and powerful women
Art is an important part of human consciousness that his been trivialized and deemed uneccesarry and supplementary to our existence in our current capitalistic society.
From my own healing experience, I believe strongly that arts of any medium are deeply needed for our souls and our survival as a human beings. Especially now for women and children.
We have been systematically taught to repress, suppress and rationalize our feelings away.
But that doesn’t make our feelings go away, it just causes them to have more subconscious control. And feelings cannot be repressed or suppressed forever. Nor should they be. What we can control is our reaction to them. And that reaction, can be captured with art.
By art, I mean anything that exhibits and adds to human expression in a non-traditional, non-linear, and beautifully abstract way. Art to me is anything that adds to the understanding of the human experience in a way that has no rules. Paintings, sketches, poems, collages, books whatever speaks to your expression of feeling.
That’s what I love about Art.Throughout the history of humanity many institutions have made attempts to define it, critique it, conceptualize it and control it. But one cannot make dogmatic rules regarding art. It exists in all our souls.
Sure, historically this has been attempted, but art is something that can be taken back by anyone at anytime. For myself, the creation of Pink Raven Poetry, is my attempt at just that. I am attempting to take back my artful expression that was purposefully and systematically repressed.
There is a war on women, that I cannot look away from. My world has irrevocably changed. And when your world changes you can either resort back into the shadows and become swallowed in despair or you can change and evolve. In this evolution, I have realized the refuge of art.
I am hopeful to help other women tap into their subconscious power as females, and help others learn how to express themselves in the best way for our collective souls together.
There is an undeniable structural power dynamic that renders us feeling as though we have no control of the world around us, let alone ourselves. Art can be that for us at this moment in humanity. It can help us weather the storm, and leave something bigger, and timeless behind. Something much larger than ourselves, we can each have a personal legacy, and ensure our own powerful feelings are etched in history.
We can uplift and inspire future generations of females for centuries to come.
I invite everyone to join my female only Facebook group, so we can create a safe community to share our hidden, and all too often dismissed feelings.
No one is expected to participate in any art, or actually anything that they do not feel personally aligned with. Your presence and expression of your feelings and just your important existence as a woman, is all the art needed.
