Preachers, poets, graphic designers, dancers, singers, painters, musicians, and others! There are lots of ways one might be an artist and creator, but to what ends are we making art? In whose interest does our art serve?
d.c.R. Pollock (Dave) read Mao's speech "Talks at the Yenan Forum on Literature and Art" with us in preparation for our discussion on art and the work of the revolutionary artist. Also mentioned: Constructive Criticism by Gracie Lyons.
Discussed:
- the class and political character of art
- the role of cultural revolution and the work of revolutionary artists
- how revolutionary communism (maoism) can enable artists to effectively serve the people
- the relation between the artist and the community they create for
