About Manifestos
Hi there Creative Mamas! You know by now how hyper I am about knowing the precise definition of a word so I have provided some Googled definitions for the word "manifesto" below:
Definitions of manifesto from Google:
- a public declaration of intentions (as issued by a political party or government)
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn - A manifesto is a public declaration of principles and intentions, often political in nature.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifesto - in art a public declaration or exposition in print of the theories and directions of a movement. The manifestos issued by various individual artists or groups of artists, in the first half of the twentieth century served to reveal their motivations and raisons d'etre and stimulated support for or reactions against them.
www.eartmart.com/pages/glossary.html - a document or public declaration of information, motives, or demands by a government, sect, or group of people; believed to be of some importance

Isn't that neato. Check out number 3. I had a fairly good idea that a manifesto was a public declaration of what you stand for, but I had no idea that there was a history of artistic manifesto. Which leads me to the question - What is your artistic manifesto? What do you stand for? What theories, feelings, perceptions, social causes do you long to express? Answering these questions in your journal may lead to an enlightening conversation with yourself. This process can open doors through which your passion and vision can be released with greater energy and purpose. The process of writing these is not a "get it right" exercise but rather an invigorating and energizing exercise that will evolve with you. I invite you to declare your artistic intentions and empower your creative vision.
You may want to have different manifestos for different portions of your life: mother, writer, artist, daughter ...
I've rewritten the Creative Mamas homepage to reflect my personal manifesto on what it is to be a creativity coach. And I am in the process of brainstorming my manifestos as mother and writer. I will share as they come to life and I invite you to share your manifestos by posting a comment below. I would love to hear from you!
Declare yourself, Mama! Let's go!
