Hello world, I've come to you with a short post today about some art I made for NNIAS MAP remembrance week last June 6th
I already typed alot about what I was going for on NNIA but here's a summary for all of you for each image;
For the 1st the theme was for the isolated self hating maps I choose to take a walk and took a picture of a power line, a fence and some trees but their not very visible here. I picked the power line to be a subject mostly because I feel like the internet helped me a lot as a once isolated MAP.
2nd image, I found an old picture of my childhood homes bathroom and the shadows of morning on it I picked it because the theme for that day was for MAPS we lost and I felt like showing how their shadow reflects upon us even now was sum cool especially because I had fond memories of watching those shadows in my bathroom.
3rd the theme was maps that changed our lives so i had made fanart of the sona of a familiar online acquaintance of mine paper_crook (on NNIA) I have pretty bad anxiety posting online (I'm using anxiety as an adjective no doctor confirmed thingy) and even just his presence in liking my things on Xelebre helped me alot so I figured fan art would be fun.
4th, the theme was the MAP community and mutual support so I decided to make fanart of rondomi that day if you don't know their a pretty cool youtuber that have made alot of videos about para activism and the such (https://youtube.com/@redrondomi-ml8zm you should check them out if anything I saw here interests you) I wouldn't have found out about NNIA or even 1.1 percent of the online para community if it wasn't for him.
5th the theme was the diversity of our attractions and I made something of Ashmes sona guys done a lot for the para communities destigmatization even beyond MAPs so I saw him as one of the best way to represent that.6th, I did some finger painting of the flags colours and added some yellow because why not lol, the theme was overlooked maps (eg women POC etc) as a POC non-binary holding origins and living in the global south (Africa) I felt like representing myself a little cause I haven't met any maps like me yet >< (plenty of minorities though lol)
Finally the 7th! I took a picture outside of my apartment during sunrise and pasted the colours over it lol. The theme was MAP spite and joy so then a sunrise is pretty symbolic isnt it~
Anyways my work is pretty mid and my summary is pretty bare bones but! I had fun, made some ppl happy and that's all that I gaf about Imao, this post is intended to remind the paras of Tumblr there is spaces u can totally go to if you simply want to exist as a para on the web with no censorship and fellowship with other paras!
I recommend signing up to NNIA either you just want a space to vent into the void without prying concerns about this and that, want to read more philosophy concerning youth liberation, activism and things they'd call "woke shit" (either as an ally or para ^o^), or simply want to a separate private social media. NNIA is madston built but completely disconnected from other pedi servers as well as requires a log in to view posts on top of that your posts will all be non viewable the moment you delete your account, so if you're looking for privacy and anonymity I have a feeling you'd enjoy it there. You can find a link to it here;
Social Media These social media sites allow MAPs to support each other. Posts on these sites may be publicly visible by default, so take pre
Here is also a link to Xelebre, although not as disconnected from the rest of fedi, it's definitely a way easier way to let out your thoughts and frustrations that may get you banned elsewhere.
