Pressure creates diamonds…
Threats to democracy are rising. Free speech is in jeopardy and the arts censored. The call to act has never been louder.
“We Create Diamonds” is a call to the creative community in response to the wide-spreading events sweeping the nation. With each day, we seem to be facing a new hardship — as well as pre-existing ones — that push us as a society to the limit of what we as a people can endure.
But despite these setbacks, the people have put pressure to advocate for change. This glimmer of resistance has become a beacon of hope, reminding us of what is important and allowing us to shine through even brighter than before.
