In Tavi Gevinson’s living room, hanging several feet above a pale blue couch, is a poster of a Jenny Holzer work that starts with these seven words: “Change is the basis of all history.” Ms. Gevinson lives in a one-bedroom apartment on a high floor in a new building across the street from the Brooklyn Academy of Music. On the walls of her living area and bedroom are the works of young artists — friends of Ms. Gevinson’s from high school or teenagers she’s featured in Rookie. The apartment also has a few images of Ms. Gevinson: a portrait by the illustrator Adrian Tomine; strips from a picture booth; and a large photo of Ms. Gevinson and her best friend, the photographer and director Petra Collins, dancing at a New York Fashion Week party.
