One reason the arts are usually the first cutting aspect of dictators is that they know how it can be a teaching tool. The arts have always educated the masses. Do you think that the governing forces want an informed and educated public? I think not.
In these tenuous times the arts are more important than ever. I am happy to see more people picking up the mantle and bringing artform to the masses. The arts are not conformed to any set convetion because it never was intended to be that way.
I pray that there will be more art with a radical element because it is greatly needed. To all artists, writers, performers and others, keep sharing and educating. Be creative and defy convention. People are looking up to us more than ever. Now is a great opportunity.
