Art isn't just pretty pictures. It's a weapon against oppression, a mirror reflecting capitalism's ugly truth. Embrace the power of subversive creativity! #ArtAsResistance #SmashCapitalism

In the face of oppression, Palestinian poetry and art ignite resistance. Darwish's words and Handala's silent defiance echo the Palestinian struggle. #FreePalestine #ArtAsResistance

Make love louder than hate.
Cut, torn, layered, and reassembled—because softness is not weakness, and love is not quiet. Love is resistance. Love is volume. Love is choice.

Art is not optional in hard times.
It’s how we remember, connect, and resist.
If you’re writing—you’re already doing something.

In black ink: I don’t care if you think your art sucks or the algorithm doesn’t like it, make it anyway, share it anyway. There is a figure resting at the bottom of the image.

Art is my weapon, my canvas a battlefield. Brushstrokes of resistance, melodies of dissent. We challenge power, unmask the oppressor. #ArtAsResistance #CapitalistCritique

"Irán a la luz"

In Spanish, Irán also means "they will go" — they will go to the light.

A future written as movement.
A body advancing where light becomes decision.
Not prophecy — persistence.

#HumanRights #Freedom #Iran #ArtAsResistance #juanestebanARTMixed
Mixed media artwork depicting a solitary human figure walking from left to right across a textured, layered surface. The background is composed of dark, earthy tones that gradually transition into a strong beam of bright light entering from the right side of the image. The figure appears in silhouette, positioned at the boundary between shadow and illumination. The surface shows rough, cracked textures with subtle color gradations, emphasizing contrast between darkness and light without identifiable landmarks.

This piece stayed unfinished until it didn’t.
Short. Thick. Confident. Bold. Sexy.

Sexy is for self. For ease. For showing up as we are.
Old-school watercolor. A body at home, taking up space unapologetically.

No human is illegal. These pieces are made as a reminder. ✊🏼🫶🏼
I threw these fast and left them raw.
Because polish would feel dishonest.
These pieces are about immigration, human rights, and the anger I’m carrying right now. #ArtWithPurpose #ArtAsResistance #nohumanisillegal

Art isn’t a distraction from resistance — it’s how people survive long fights. Writing, reading, sharing joy, and making beauty are ways we stay human when systems want us exhausted. Joy is not frivolous. It’s fuel. ✍️✨

Finding Strength in Joyful Resistance Through Art
The piece challenges the misconception that resistance must be overtly aggressive or draining. It highlights how art and joy serve as powerful forms of resistance, especially for marginalized individuals. Small creative acts can foster community, sustain activism, and affirm dignity, illustrating that even minor contributions hold significance in the struggle against oppression.

“Minneapolis, MN, January 24, 2026” part of an ongoing series examining state violence, militarized enforcement, and bodily instability under systems of control.

#AbolishICE #EndICE #ICEProtests #GeneralStrike #Solidarity #PoliticalArt #ArtAsResistance #VisualProtest #FluFluxKlan
Illustration from an ongoing political art series (working title: Flu Flux Klan) showing four paramilitary figures in gas masks and camouflage uniforms suspended against a green field. Their bodies appear fragmented and dissolving into clouds of tear gas, with overlapping limbs and unstable forms suggesting mutation and loss of control. Several smoke or tear gas canisters float below them. The image evokes state violence, erasure, and the bodily impact of militarized enforcement, framing these figures as both agents of force and subjects consumed by it.

Work‑in‑progress art — “Eliminate Ice”
I believe in justice, not silence. Sailor Moon is a symbol of resistance rising against abuses of power and villainous force.

ABOLISH ICE. ✊🏽🔥

A digital work‑in‑progress showing Sailor Moon in her sailor costume with a determined expression, pointing forward as if confronting injustice. Behind her, at the bottom of the image, bold black text partially reads “ICE” in distressed stencil style against a white background. The artwork suggests a visual protest against government abuses and excessive force by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The colors are bright and strong, emphasizing resistance and empowerment.

A watercolor-style portrait of a Black person with long locs and a calm, introspective expression, painted in warm orange and brown tones. The artwork is displayed on a wooden easel in a gallery-like space, with a pink “@DATARTING” Instagram-style graphic overlaid across the image.

History isn’t just a series of dates; it’s a cycle. This piece, "Cartographia Novum America," draws a straight line from the 1770 Boston Massacre to modern-day enforcement. Different centuries, same architecture of power. ⚖️🏛️

An illustration styled like an antique parchment map titled "Cartographia Novum America." It is split into two panels. The left side is labeled "1770 / Boston Massacre" and depicts British Redcoats firing into a crowd. The right side is labeled "256 / ICE" and depicts modern law enforcement officers in tactical gear standing near an "ICE" branded vehicle. At the top, an equation reads "1770 + 256 = \text{Minneapolis}," framed by two angels holding a banner
