@charliejane yes the world looks like a collapsing stage set & we stand in the wings wondering whether it's still polite to perform.
But the question is a sleight of hand pretending to be about promotion when it's actually a quiet moral panic in marketing clothes: "how do I promote my art" being the socially acceptable form of "how dare I exist creatively while everything burns?"
A charming guilt. Always fashionable in eras of decline.

@charliejane The premise is of course flawed. Catastrophe doesn't invalidate art but reveals its necessity. We don't ask whether to light a candle cuz the night is dark. The darkness is precisely why the flame becomes visible at all. Art is no luxury good for stable civilizations for it is the last language spoken when stability collapses. How a culture coughs up its truth before it suffocates.
