Takeaways
- Don’t wait for confidence. You get confidence by doing.
- Suit up and show up because you never know what's going to happen. Even if it’s a terrible day in the studio, you might just meet someone that really lifts your spirits and makes you think about your work differently.
- Let go of all the rules that say art has to be this way or that way. Just do it because you want to.
- The best revolution we could have for the preservation of democracy is to do it yourself.

Shannon Amey - Origin Stories
Takeaways
- Live life through loving kindness.
- Make more garbage art. We need to give people opportunities to fail, to experiment, to prototype.
- The Napping Wall!!! (you’ll just have to listen...)
- If you’re stuck: 1) work in series, 2) turn your art upside down, 3) put your art on the napping wall, 4) change what you’re up to.
- When we take the time to slow down and learn how to tune in to ourselves, our creative practice, and our own work, we create work that is authentically ours.
- There is a singular subjective perspective of how people remember and experience and create stories of others and themselves.
