Writing has long been regarded as a potent source of knowledge and influence. It has often been utilized as a source that fights against oppression and injustice. Likewise, it has been employed to raise awareness on matters such as climate change and to gain traction for protests. However, art has also been applied to such uses. One often sees imagery that makes one aware of issues such as conflicts or nefarious politicians in their government and history classes. Or, they may be scrolling through social media and see art that intends to increase attention on racial discrimination and issues that LGBTQIA+ individuals experience. 

 

     With this in mind, The Progress Paper has created a space for artists that allows them to express a message that they feel needs more recognition or awareness. If you are interested in submitting an expressive work of yours-whether it be poetry, digital, or traditional-please feel free to contact us. We will display your artwork as long as it is respectful and not discriminatory to anyone.
