one of the major challenges of art based approaches in my community is excessive censorship by the government. Everything is strongly centralized and artists doesn’t have the freedom to speak on their own voice. Artists who Fail to comply with the draconian censorship laws end up behind the bars. consequently, since 2001 tens of artists with are held incommunicado because their approach transgressed the censorship laws.
I know that well.
In my country, there is not even freedom of expression in the press. The Houthi militia imprison and punish anyone who expresses his dissent against their ideology.
you are right. Absence of freedom of speech is one of the major challenges artists facing all over the world.
I resonate with you.here in my country when one performs something against the ruling government, then their life is in danger, there is no freedom of expression.
where is your country dear
I can resonate with the fact that you do or say anything against the ruling government you go to jail, but I think that if we look for subtle artistic ways to pass accross this message, they may get it🤔
you are right, the ,message can pas subtly. But in highly centralized state everything is under strict control and cencesorship.
