Playful Pushback and Routinary Resistance

Abstract

“Playful Pushback and Routinary Resistance”

The overlapping hands, pushing back against unseen forces, represent the many ways contemporary generations express resistance through play, creativity, and everyday participation. Inspired by the theme “Playful Pushback and Routinary Resistance”, the drawing reflects how social media, games, popular culture, and collective action become spaces where ordinary gestures challenge power, foster solidarity, and inspire social change.
