Chapter 7

"Unfortunately, good intentions don't necessarily lead to good results. Actions motivated by the best of intentions can be ineffectual, misdirected, and have unfore. seen detrimental effects. For good intentions to lead to good results with any regularity, we need to carefully evaluate the impact of our actions, and then plan how to fit actions together to multiply their impact. When our goal is to work with others to change the world, a focus on having noble intentions is not enough. We must turn our attention to the æffect we have on things outside of our- selves: other people, relations, and material conditions"

- Many people have good intentions for movements, but some don't lead up to good results. Unfortunately it's due to misconception, speaking over the group that's affected , or overall toxicity. In order for movement have a good ending/result if we all work together and give light and the ones who's the subject/affected speak up and amplified their voices.



"We've interviewed scores of talented political artists and worked with hundreds of activists, and the most common criteria they use to gauge the success of their projects is media attention. If the work is covered by the mainstream news or the art press, or commented upon in activist or art circles, then it is deemed a great victory. This makes a certain sense: the more people hear about our piece, and the more they are exposed to the issues, then the more they might be moved to think and act in a different way."

- Every powerful political artwork I have seen was throw media and it being shared over and over again. To be an successful artist today, especially an successful activist, is having a big media presence and becoming viral. Having news, articles, and commentary podcasts/videos talk about you art activism is sign of success and progress.
