We’re Still Fighting: The Art of Becoming Revolutionary

This project is a multimedia ethnography of 21st-century resistance—examining how art, protest, and digital storytelling function as rituals of remembrance and revolution. Through a feminist and diasporic lens, the research traces the emotional and aesthetic lineage of social movements from the feminist resurgence of the 2010s to the Black Lives Matter uprisings of 2020. It interrogates how Black cultural expression, online activism, and visual media became tools of collective healing and insurgent visibility during the Trump administration. By archiving protest art, social media discourse, and oral histories, the study illuminates how communities transform trauma into testimony, and how rebellion evolves into a living, intergenerational art form.
