Illustrated Journal

"The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them."

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Through this journal, we are inviting you into a new way of thinking and doing, one which begins with questioning everything we take for granted.

In particular, how we contribute – or think we contribute – to a better world. We will not have all the answers, but we want to ask better questions.

Afraid of History

“I have seen that it is not man that is impotent in the struggles against evil, but the power of evil that is impotent in the struggle against man. The powerlessness of kindness, of senseless kindness, is the secret of its immortality.… Human history is not man’s battle to overcome evil. It is a battle fought by a great evil struggling to crush a small kernel of human kindness. But if what is human in human beings has not been destroyed even now, then evil will never conquer.” — Vasily Grossman
