I Absolutely Love This Documentary About Art That's Saying Something

Especially lately. Each day feels like a bit of a slog to get through and attempting to be creative when there's a moment free - I just can't somedays. The news is too much. The world is too much. 

And then, last weekend, I watched a documentary that made me feel absolutely ecstatic about creating again, especially creating work that reflects our current times. 

If you haven't watched Secret Mall Apartment, I highly recommend it! It provided me a dose of optimism and inspiration that I hadn't felt in a while. It's about living art projects, creating and giving back to communities, and giving a huge jab to developers that are displacing groups of people in the name of making money, and privilege, relationships - everything. 


The documentary, to me, is about true art. Not art that lives in a museum behind velvet ropes that one has to pay to view. 

This is art

It's currently streaming via Netflix. 

I hope it also inspires others.

Keep creating.

Keep documenting.

P.S. Fuck ICE .

  1. Yes, yes, loved this documentary. I don’t think the apartment project would be possible nowadays - too many security cameras. Loved how they document their projects.

    1. I was thinking the same thing. Too many cameras nowadays. That little Pentax camera they used - incredible that it captured so much!
