Thinking about all the things we settle for? Relationships? Jobs? Lives? ⠀ ⠀ Is it because we’re conditioned to think that we’ll never get it to begin with or we’re not worthy of our own hopes and dreams? ⠀ ⠀ I find that a lot of us tend to settle because we believe wanting more for ourselves is being ungrateful. And if you’ve grown up as a woman in brown/arab household you sure know what that feels like. Any sign of criticism can be seen as an act of defiance, an act of ingratitude. We don’t have to settle for crumbs of a life. ⠀ We should be able to have the whole cake and eat it tooooo☝️⠀ ⠀ #womenofillustration #womenwhodraw #justgirlproject #girlsmakingmagic #womenofcreation   #sadgirlsclub #gurlstalk feminismo #womenempowerment #women #womenempowerment #queerillustrator #intersectionalfeminism #girlgaze #feminineenergy #femaleillustrator #feminisme #feministasfuck #feministillustration #feministartist #menawomen #menaart #kuwaitiartist #kuwaitiillustrators (at Kuwait City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCnysVzhnn4/?igshid=z3n94zd0wrz9

ArteEast call for submissions

As we celebrate the arrival of a new year, ArteEast is seeking submissions from talented and dynamic writers, arts professionals and commentators to join our ongoing discussion of the contemporary Middle East arts and creative communities across the world by contributing to ArteNews.

What have been the stand-out events of 2013? What new developments do we anticipate in 2014 for arts communities based both in the region and abroad?

We especially welcome conversations and interviews with artists, curators and experts, as well as engaging and unique insights into exhibitions and events.

We look forward to hearing from you, and to another year of celebrating the contemporary arts and culture of the Middle East and North Africa. Please send all inquiries and submission ideas to Clarissa Pharr at cpharr@arteeast.org.

You'll prove in time you're just a vulture in savior's robes

Inspired by the song Vulture by the band Bear Ghost. The song is very tasty and I've been chipping away at this piece since I first heard it a few months ago.
