Existential Artistry is a form of worldbuilding seeded by ALYH ABOVE that focuses on the inherent creativity of the human experience, and seeks to honor it devotionally as art-ifact and creative process. In Existential Artistry, worldbuilding is defined as the sacred creative practice by which we actualize our humanity into an intentional living experience. It is a form of intimate relationship with (self, other and) life in which we actively become the structures that hold and shape our human experience.
Existential Artistry is also an active study of The Human Experience as Creative Process, where we can be seen in conversation with life, impacting life with our responses to it and allowing it to impact us, as we co-create iterative realities.
In the midst of oppressive living systems which have chosen our relationship with life for us — a relationship that is often violent, abusive, disjointed and constricting — it is imperative that we have worlds to retreat to (and live in) when our humanity inevitably decides to divest from the extractive templates that have been used to frame our lives. here + human✴︎ aims to help artists and creatives learn how to become the builders of the worlds our humanity needs most.
