Meet Queer, Bipoc, And Women Artists Around The World As They Discuss The Gifts, Costs, And Redemptive Power Of Pursuing A Creative Lifeis The AllEncompassing Quest To Become A SelfSustaining Artist Worth The Sacrifices It Often Requires? Throughout Her 20S And 30S, Stephanie Elizondo Griest Could Not Help Worrying If Constantly Prioritizing Her Writing Over Everything ElseFrom Postponing Children To Living Nomadically To Save On RentWas Leading Her To Fulfillment Or Regret. After A BreakUp And Serious Health Crisis In Her Early 40S, She Decided To Turn To Other Women Artists For Their Perspectives On That Perennial Question: Is Art Enough?Art Above Everything Introduces Us To Legendary Writers, Visual Artists, Dancers, And Musicians Across The Globe, Who Talk Intimately About Their Art, What It Requires, What It Gifts Them, And What It Costs Them. Opening In A Classical Indian Dance Village, Elizondo Griest Goes On To Meet 100+ Artists In Rwanda, Romania, Qatar, Iceland, Mexico, New Zealand, Cuba, And The United States. She Discovers Artists From Rwandan Playwright Hope Azeda, Who Navigated Ethnic Tensions As She Attempted To Bring About Reconciliation Through Theater In The Aftermath Of Genocide; To Romanian Painter Florica Prevenda, Who Got Assigned To A Provincial Factory During CeauescuS Dictatorship But Never Relinquished Her Brushes.Art Is Inheritance, Dissent, Devotion, Revenge, Celebration, And More. Yet Though Each ArtistS Relationship To Their Craft Is Different, Their Need To Create In The Face Of Economic Hardship, Misogyny, Sexual Violence, And Family Ostracization Is Wholly Akin.Bold And Inspiring, Art Above Everything Never Pretends That The ArtistS Path Is EasyBut It Illuminates The Infinite Ways We Can Wield Creativity As A Vitalizing Force.
