YOUR GUIDE TO A NEW EARTHTOPIA
PERFECTION IS A SHIT RELIGION.
THE MONKEY IS THE HERESY.
IF YOU’VE BEEN MAKING “SAFE” WORK SO IT PLAYS NICE ONLINE, CONGRATS.
YOU’VE BEEN TRAINED.
NOT INSPIRED. TRAINED.
THE MONKEY IS HERE TO UNDO THAT.
NOT WITH QUOTES.
WITH REALNESS. WITH HUMOR. WITH A MIRROR.
INTRODUCING THE MONKEY
THE MONKEY IS NOT ONLY A PLAYFUL PERSONA”
THAT’S TOO CUTE. TOO CLEAN.
THE MONKEY IS A SIGNAL:
YOU’RE TIRED OF PRETENDING YOUR WORK ARRIVES PERFECT.
YOU’RE TIRED OF WAITING TO FEEL “READY.”
YOU’RE TIRED OF POLISH CULTURE RUNNING YOUR HAND.
HE WAS BORN OUT OF THE SAME OLD DISEASE:
PERFECTIONISM.
THE THING THAT MAKES ARTISTS HIDE THEIR BEST WORK BECAUSE IT DOESN’T FEEL “DONE.”
THE MONKEY DOESN’T COMFORT YOUR INSECURITY.
HE POINTS AT IT.
HE LAUGHS.
THEN HE INVITES YOU TO MAKE SOMETHING ANYWAY.
EARTHTOPIA
THE MISSION
EARTHTOPIA IS NOT A TREND.
NOT A “CHARITY VIBE.”
NOT A PERFORMANCE.
IT’S A PRACTICE.
13|13|13.
THE IDEA IS SIMPLE:
ART THAT DOESN’T JUST HANG THERE LOOKING EXPENSIVE.
ART THAT PUSHES PEOPLE BACK INTO EACH OTHER.
EARTHTOPIA LIVES WHERE:
- ART STARTS CONVERSATIONS INSTEAD OF SALES PITCHES.
- COMMUNITY IS THE MEDIUM.
- PURPOSE IS DONE, NOT ANNOUNCED.
THE MONKEY DOESN’T “ALIGN WITH ORGANIZATIONS.”
HE CARES ABOUT PROBLEMS THAT BLEED INTO REAL DAYS:
HUNGER. INJUSTICE. DISASTER. DISCONNECTION.
AND HE’S NOT WAITING FOR PERMISSION TO RESPOND.
IMPERFECTION ISN’T A STYLE
IT’S THE TRUTH
YOUR INNER CRITIC IS NOT “INSIGHT.”
IT’S LOUD.
IT’S ANNOYING.
AND IT LIES FOR A LIVING.
LIFE IS MESSY.
SO WHY IS YOUR ART TRYING TO LOOK LIKE A CORPORATE LOBBY.
WHEN YOU LET YOUR WORK BE:
UGLY. CLUMSY. LOUD. UNEVEN.
YOU’RE NOT “FAILING.”
YOU’RE FINALLY TELLING THE TRUTH.
ICON LIST:
- FLAWS = EVIDENCE YOU TOUCHED THE THING.
- MISTAKES = PROOF YOU MOVED.
- CHAOS = WHERE THE REAL STORY HIDES.
YOU’RE NOT A SPECTATOR.
YOU’RE NOT HERE TO CONSUME CULTURE QUIETLY.
YOU’RE HERE TO MAKE SOMETHING TRUE.
AND LET IT BE IMPERFECT ON PURPOSE.
IF DOUBT SHOWS UP, GOOD.
THAT MEANS YOU’RE CLOSE.
THE MONKEY LEADS.
EARTHTOPIA CALLS.
