I've always had a hard time accepting so-called "political art". I understand that art not takes place in a vacuum, just like there is no "one truth" in science, but in the end, the activist artist is just an ideologue like everyone else, and political art is propaganda and closer to PR and advertising than to art. This article by @PhilKlay describes this dilemma quite well. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/05/magazine/activism-propaganda-artists-writers.html (08/06/2024 09:46:39)
