Making What's Plausible Probable
Carrie Lambert-Beatty talks about the role activist art plays in defining alternate realities even when the art may not be able to make those realities happen. I find this quote a compelling argument for my continued actions in spite of the illegality and uncommon methods used.
"By providing opportunities for belief-however fleeting, and no matter how stymied-such tactics of plausibility provide especially rich, emotional experiences of 'what-if.' The art of the plausible works to edge an imagined state of affairs from the merely possible to the brink, at least, of the probable."
