What if shadowbanning isn’t just an algorithmic glitch—but a curse? A silencing spell cast on witches, weirdos, and worldbuilders?
And what if breaking that curse means reclaiming your visibility, your voice, and your magic—one uncensored post at a time?
In this bold and galvanizing solo episode of Your Art Is A Spell, Edgar Fabián Frías invites us deep into the heart of shadowbanning—what it is, who it targets, and how to resist it with spellcraft, strategy, and soul.
Drawing from lived experience as a queer, Indigenous, multidisciplinary artist and educator, Edgar unpacks how the algorithm quietly disappears creators who dare to be too real, too radical, too embodied. From sex workers to activists, witches to fat queer artists—entire communities are vanishing from feeds, silenced without warning.
But we don’t disappear quietly. We haunt.
This isn’t just an episode—it’s a counter-spell. A reminder that your art has power beyond the platform. A call to dream beyond the algorithm.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever posted something sacred only to watch it vanish. For those who have been told their work is too much, too weird, too honest, too queer. For those still making spells in the shadows.
You are not alone. You are not broken. And your art is still a spell—even when no one clicks "like."
✨ Listen, share, and conjure new pathways of connection—because the algorithm was never meant to hold our magic anyway.
Let this episode be a love letter to your persistence, your wildness, and your refusal to be erased.
Because your art is a spell—and it will outlive every shadowban.
