How Can I Be a Successful Artist and Keep My Soul? Jon Guerra and Alejo Cala Lara

As artists and makers in this current context, there’s an unfortunate tension we find ourselves holding: How do we approach the “necessary evil” of social media, without being superficial or obsessed with our follower count and likes? What does it look like to create just for the joy of creating, without needing to exhibit every single work?
