Happy Birthday to this year's Honorary Maverick Award Recipient, @ethanhawke ! 🥳 . "I see the Arts–what we do– as a representation of the collective consciousness of our culture, and that we together decide what stories we tell. And like thought leads action, our stories and what we deem important leads our behavior. What we do is absolutely essential, and that there is no such thing as standing apart or standing alone. We exist in relationship to each other. We create each other." ~ Ethan Hawke, 2022 Maverick Awards Ceremony - watch his full acceptance speech via the link in bio!
