Thanatapathy

THANATAPATHY is an act against individualism, complicity, omission, and refutes subtlety. This is a space for art to spark thoughts that enact discomfort for all. Create your voice and show others the change that is necessary to end the deaths of others. Does your art make commentary on the violence of cars and those who use cars? Are cars a part of a greater problem, of taxpayer dollars going towards detraction and death than progress and health? Are cars symbolic? An allusion towards a far more nefarious, poisonous, murderous issue? What are cars to you, and how do they endanger you on your walk across a street, your bicycle commute miles from home? Do cars have a more ironically organic love and focus than actual people, so much so that even buses, trains, metros, and other forms of public transit suffer because of car dependency? Do cars kill the environment? Are electric cars truly a better alternative, or are they another way to feign progress while equally, if not more, contributing to the problem of car dependency and globalization of capital?
