There are still people who recognize the power they hold together and refuse to be overwhelmed by those in authority. In Glasgow, the building and archive of the now-defunct Centre for Contemporary Arts are being sold to the highest bidder, and the local community is stepping in to try to stop it.
In Chicago, art therapy professor Savneet Talwar was placed on leave after asking students to imagine a treatment plan for a pro-Palestinian protester. In response, hundreds of people from the School of the Art Institute community have signed a petition calling for her reinstatement.
There is, however, one group for whom hardly anyone is fighting: the children held in ICE detention facilities. Today we are sharing drawings made by these traumatized children.
They are heartbreaking, if you have a heart.
