i live
closer to survival
than many.

when the artist has to focus on survival, then, learning how to survive is the art process, and survival is the art.

survival art does not invent a parallel process to life itself
survival art does not add metalayers (ex: documentation, critique) to life unless they are for advocacy
survival art happens in the present, not in production
survival art mandates self-care
survival art respects individual limitations
survival art crips art
survival art can speak about bedbugs
survival art holds what is happening in the urgency
survival art valides the acts of survival as artistic gestures
survival art is a form of advocacy
survival art might be a form of new materialism
