What is Creative Resistance?
Creative Resistance is the use of imaginative, artistic methods to challenge social, political, or cultural norms, acting as a form of non-violent dissent. Simply put, it's using the Arts in all its forms - painting, photography, drama, music, jewelry, arts & crafts, etc., as a form of protest in some way. So whether you've raised a paintbrush, to canvas, sung a song, used a marker to create a sign for a rally, or painted a vast mural, you indeed are a practitioner of Creative Resistance!

While researching different types of protest art online, we wondered if there was such a thing as protest origami? Our results fed our artistic energies for the next few months. Read the story of our action, and our inspiration from Project Tsuru.
