This work was created as part of Art Prints 4 Mutual Aid, a project with support provided by the Visual Arts Fund, administered by Midway Contemporary Art with generous funding from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, New York. Four artists were chosen to participate, and each artist created new work with guidance and mentorship centered around trans-national solidarity and international mutual aid movements. Print sales proceeds will go to mutual aid organizations of each artist's choosing. 
 
Silent Fox artist statement: 
 
In a world where economic systems prioritize profit over people, I am drawn to the quiet revolution of neighbors caring for neighbors, of communities that catch each other in both crisis and celebration. The current economy operates as a business model designed to extract value rather than nurture human flourishing. It forces us into isolation, competition, and artificial scarcity while our dreams remain deferred by systems that were never built with our well-being in mind. But what if we refused this paradigm? What if we chose to be the infrastructure of care that holds each other up? 
 
Through my poster title, Build the Dream; I envision how mutual aid creates space for possibilities that mainstream society deems impossible or impractical. When we share resources, skills, and support without the mediation of profit, we create cracks in the system where authentic dreams can take root. This isn't just about surviving hard times—it's about building the conditions where everyone can thrive. Can we use mutual aid to challenge the social scripts that tell us we must carry our burdens alone, that asking for help is weakness, that our worth is measured by our productivity? These imposed responsibilities often serve to maintain existing power structures rather than support genuine human development.
 
My work seeks to visualize and celebrate the networks of care that already exist in our communities while imagining what becomes possible when we expand them. It asks: How do we move from surviving to thriving? How do we create abundance from what we already have? How do we build a world where everyone's dreams are not just valid, but achievable?
 
In documenting and creating space for mutual aid practices, I hope to contribute to a culture that sees interdependence not as failure, but as the foundation of a more just and joyful world.
