ADVOCACY
"I must be a mermaid... I have no fear of depths, and a great fear of shallow living." | "I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me..." | Anais Nin

"Art is, then, a genuinely human medium for revolutionary change in the sense of completing the transformation from a sick world to a healthy one. In my opinion only art is capable of doing it.”​​ | “I think art is the only political power, the only revolutionary power, the only evolutionary power, the only power to free humankind from all repression.” | “Art alone makes life possible—this is how radically I should like to formulate it. I would say that without art people are inconceivable in physiological terms.” |. “Creativity is not limited to people practicing one of the traditional forms of art, and even in the case of artists, creativity is not confined to the exercise of their art." Joseph Beuys

"Being sensitive to the human condition, the fragility of life as much as its crazy beauty, the world's excesses and inequities; and being progeny of educators-creatives, cultural commentary (via satire) comes naturally with my platform. And yes, doing the right thing/being there for others involves sacrifices and isn't always easy. But I believe in having ideals. I support movements (starting with my own behaviour, often privately) for higher love, healthier, kinder, more creative and sustainable ways of living. These are causes close to my heart:
​
​Higher Love NOT Abusive Relationships
Minimalism
​Movember (November)
R U OK? Day (8th September, Australia)
Sustainable Cities And Communities, Goal 11
UNICEF, Global Parenting
World Mental Health Day (10th October)
The Zeitgeist Movement
Please share if U feel the same."
Love, Magdalene (M.VII)
