The Power of the Artistic Voice

Finding your voice is important in many aspects of life. One example is the artistic voice, or the style, craft and medium by which your unique point of view, experience, identity and values may be shared. Finding this voice is a different process for each individual. The current global pandemic has spawned a flood of creative content on social media. This is an attempt to share the struggle and mitigate its impact. So how do you uncover and develop an artistic and creative voice? How can this voice be used to affect positive social change? Is the digital age enhancing or disenfranchising artistic voices? How can people who produce candid online artistic expressions be protected from harassment, bullying and discrimination?
