"Without Fear" Theme Overview:
As young people in this era, we face tremendous uncertainty and fear about the environments around us. It feels like we've inherited a responsibility to a world whose problems we didn't make. As if our futures have been co-opted by systems that don't have our best interest in mind. As artists, we are limited by time, money, and resources. We worry about whether making art will allow us to survive, when the whole purpose is to enjoy just making art.
So we ask: If fear no longer limited you, how would you imagine, build, or live in the future? Who are you without limitation, without fear?
