“[Perkins offers] a needed reminder about creating just art: do not take on art that is not your work to do (cultural appropriation, or telling someone else’s story because you feel an impulse toward it), but rather amplify others’ voices and create your work in ways that root out pride, envy, and other vices that hinder your art. This inclination toward thoughtful art can look like practicing fasting, silence, an intentional retreat, collaboration, gratitude, reflection, rest as a part of your creative process. Incorporating these things can keep your art from shifting toward the didactic, giving your audience a chance ‘to think, feel, and respond in freedom’ to your work.”
