I am so late in watching this, haha, but I am so happy to see this idea in video form now!! Love the name 'From Book to Canvas' and love the painting. It is so beautiful!! The sloth shots were the best and the cats too, haha. Also, I am obsessed with your nails 💜💜
I like the painting what you are reading concept but totally disagree with the "only those who have been affected by an injustice" can write about it. From slavery to suffrage to sex slavery to the plight of Native Americans and beyond, most cases of injustice are brought to the forefront by sympathetic voices outside of the sphere of the affected. There was a groundswell of support against slavery and eventually those voices brought it to a tipping point (at least in America; around the globe slavery is still an epidemic). Ditto with just about every cause imaginable. Freedom of expression should never be curtailed based upon one's status.
@@Bawbcaht I agree that these topics should be discussed and sympathetic voices with the privilege to be heard help a lot! However I think in a lot of cases it narrows down to the execution of how these stories are told, to make sure we aren’t silencing the voices that should be heard by only shining light on those of white privileged authors. In this case I believe T.J Klune wrote a beautiful duology about kindness, holding on to hope, fighting against discrimination, found family and a great discussion around queerness, parenting and adoption. Without overshadowing other voices that deserve to be heard and tell their stories.
@@AnasBookery I'm not trying to be argumentative but how can writing a book silence somebody who is also writing a book? Telling somebody that they don't have a moral right to freely express their opinions is tyrannical at best and evil at worst.
This is such a beautiful idea. I loved watching you paint. The video was very relaxing. 😊
@@adelina_bonca Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 💛
