Young people play games on the internet, seek dates on the internet, watch catfights and booty videos on the internet, and they parrot and rubber-stamp wicked, devilish, and misinformative posts and messages on the internet placed on the internet by right-wing nationalists, supremacists, and oppressors of Black and African people.
There is a large and corrosive gap between a heuristic–a profiling tip that indicates something or someone may need to be observed for possible misconduct–and stereotyping–deciding that someone is undesirable and is going to commit unwanted actions because of their identity. A man walks into a crowd at a speech and he’s scowling, possibly fingering a knife in its case–the idea that this man should be observed is based on logic fed by hints from similar past situations–a heuristic that is a shortcut and an efficient mental process that narrows the odds of error. Stereotyping increases the chances for mistakes.
Arts For Everybody brought unlikely community partners together— artists, government officials and community health leaders— to produce participatory arts projects seeking to bridge the arts with the health and well-being of our communities. The activation part of “One Nation/One Project” spanned 18 communities across the country from Hawaii to Washington state to Texas to Florida to Illinois to New York and to the nation’s capital Washington, DC and beyond to share, to create, to perform in celebration of health, community, belonging, and togetherness. Each project sought to address the unique challenges of their city, from access to clean water to access to lost customs and culture—issues that, many times, disproportionately impacted Black and brown and low-income communities. These same communities face the biggest barriers when it comes to access to the arts and health care.

The cannibalization of a nation’s form of government isn’t new. Approximately ninety-one years ago, Hitler cannibalized Germany’s Weimar Republic, which was a parliamentary Democracy, and turned it into a dictatorship. Now former President Trump, using similar tactics borrowed from Hitler, is attempting to cannibalize America’s Democracy by turning it into an Autocracy as though it’s an outdated relic.
