- Therefore, it's important that an artistic institution is also a political one, not necessarily with a capital »P«, but working in the day to day with people to shape things and help move towards a future where conflict is negated and where actually people can find solutions. And this is a kind of purposeful idea of art, art which is heading in a direction which is about engaging the world and not retreating from it. / Alistair Hudson
Description
I've heard a lot in my career so far from people who say art and politics don't mix. But for me, art is politics. Art is part of the way the world works. It's wrapped up in all its complexities, and a lot of politics is driven by culture. Culture is the foundation of how we think, how we act, and therefore you cannot separate the two.
