(Part 2/2) "I'm willing to be the Artist, the individual. Even if that means some people wont want to associate with me. My desire is to create a positive thing. You know, I totally want to tear down all the negative bull shit going on out there; but rather than focusing on that, we've got to build the vision of the future and give people the courage to have the energy to create it.  We've got to do do this together. We need to build the movement! - Loa, A.k.a. Little One Alone" ∆ [[#ARTISFREE #NobodytheArtist #LittleOneAlone #SisterMarch #universityofcincinnati #womensmarch #womensmarchonwashington #Art #vision #thefutureisfemale #voice #feminist #feminism #questionart]] (at University of Cincinnati)

(Part 1/2) [Why use Art to make a statement?] Loa: “Art is energy. This is my soul. I knew it from birth; this is who I am.  I have to be real and true to myself. Otherwise I get really sad and depressed.  Because of my age, I grew up in an age and generation where you didn’t speak.  You stayed silent.  It wasn't the women's place to say anything. So I don't say a word.  I dont have to. My actual voice is real little, and I dont know how to speak people right. I don't like to debate. Its easier to just say a picture." ∆ [Q: So you found your voice in Art?] Loa: "...That is true Art. Its the way to express all of my chakras. My energy can flow through the colors.  And it causes people to respond. Whether its through a smile, or a smirk of discontent. When you debate a person, theyre going to defend their beliefs.  But if you dont debate them. Instead you just put it out there in a way that forces them to ponder.  The picture gets in their mind and stays there.  It gets those synapses connecting, and theyre going to understand that picture more.  You just need to get the mind thinking.  Once youre thinking about it, you can actually start to compute it." ∆ [[#ARTISFREE #NobodytheArtist #LittleOneAlone #SisterMarch #universityofcincinnati #womensmarch #womensmarchonwashington #Art #vision #thefutureisfemale #voice #feminist #feminism #questionart]] (at University of Cincinnati)
