Editorial

Manifestos Have Been Corrupted by Extremism
Manifestos as a form have been captured by cynical politicians and mass shooters, removing them from the hands of artists and visionaries.
The Manifesto Belongs to Artists and Visionaries, Not Politicians
The manifesto as a form should be reclaimed by artists, warriors, visionaries, and passionate regular people—not politicians or extremists.
Can We Find Inspiration Without Violence?
The central question of the series: can we access the inspirational power of manifestos without resorting to violence or extremism?
The Manifesto as Personal Declaration
A manifesto is ultimately a personal declaration—a statement of belief and intention by someone with the passion and courage to make it public.
