This is also an issue of patriarchy - studies have shown that where cultures become fascistic and militarized, whether the Taliban, Nazi Germany, etc., initially eliminate their arts, intellectuals, and the rights of women diminish right along with them. Where you have cultures that value women, you have cultures that value the arts.<br /><br />Artists, storytellers, dreamers, visionaries need to fight the "internal enemy", whether military or corporate propaganda, that tells us what we do is "not important", not "real", even, Goddess forbid, "unmanly". We need to re-member that the arts are the soul of any given culture, and a culture that does not value, not only its legacy of art but it's new innovators of art...........is a culture undergoing soul loss.Lauren Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157367890138761677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-77183135313968193992014-04-02T07:06:42.388-07:002014-04-02T07:06:42.388-07:00Thanks Martine, of course and I'm always honor...Thanks Martine, of course and I'm always honored.Lauren Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157367890138761677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-67846546087585665112014-04-01T18:38:45.130-07:002014-04-01T18:38:45.130-07:00Wow. This is so on the mark. It's not just art...Wow. This is so on the mark. It's not just artists, but also writers, the storytellers, who are, in essence, getting screwed by corporate america. It's why many writers are foregoing traditional publishing altogether and going their own way.
