notes on writing manifestos that light both yours and readers’ hearts on fire
Standing for something isn’t just about writing it down. It’s about believing it and living it.
In its highest form, the manifesto acts as a magic spell incanted by the visionary artist. It is a performative speech/act that attempts to bring a new reality into existence.
Fleeting and permanent, serious and ridiculous, sincere and ironic, always undermining their own authority, manifestos are unstable texts in the extreme.
