THE KIDS
ARE
ALRIGHT

This portrait work by Melanie Tjoeng highlights the hope of the future generations through young creatives.

"We see so much, understand so little, and are simultaneously told so much about what we think, as a populace polled minute by minute, that it feels like an extraneous effort to listen at all to our hearts" - B. Kingsolver 

Despite the challenges that come with the new generation; chronically online and plugged in, there is nothing that this generation isn’t privy to. But amidst environmental crisis and political turmoil, we find things to be hopeful for. There is power in community and power in every voice. These young creatives are finding ways to express themselves and create joy from their little corner of the world, in whatever form of expression works for them.
