Further, it aims to reveal how Abigail’s desire to promote a love ethic permeates through the content and seeps into how the medium itself encourages embracing and celebrating our differences. I hope that through Abigail’s journey of creative and political self-discovery, anyone viewing this would be able to recognize that although art is not always as loud, obvious, or heavily engaged with as other forms of protest such as marches, speeches, and social media organized events, it provides a more intimate and unique platform to discover shared experiences and to create underrepresented spaces for important discussions. Art has always been resistant, allowing creators who feel unheard in conventional spaces to carve a voice for themselves within our social infrastructure, and art continues to be resilient, where its ripple effects continuously withstand the trials and tribulations of changing times and locations. Art has always been a revolution, but it is often overlooked and underestimated, and rarely considered by the whole of its parts – for both the content and the form. The purpose of this zine is to illuminate that although art is not a conceptually new revolution, it is slowly gaining traction within popular discourse, with the widespread visibility and appreciation for street murals, social media art accounts, and films that reflect real life societal issues. Thus art, more specifically the current reincarnation of art visibility, is a new revolution.
